Ok, so FF reckoned I would O today or tomorrow. Out of interest I thought I'd do a test even though I've never had a positive as I had sore bbs. Shocked doesn't even cover it.

Thing is, what do I do? We've been using condoms as obvs the hospital would prefer that I lose more weight before getting pregnant and the place I had the band done would agree with them...but I'm 28 in feb and we both want more than one...so do we say screw it and dtd? I'm confused cos I never thought this would happen at all tbh let alone this quickly.

 

[katherinegrey]

I'd go for it and dtd if I were you, but I'm impatient Yay for ovulating though!

It looks like I'm into an accidental tww. I'm actually on the pill. But I missed one Christmas eve, I did double up Christmas day, but yesterday I had two positive opk's, I'm in shock! I only bought some because I keep noticing EWCM, we dtd the day before my pos. opk too, opk's today are negative so I'm guessing today is O day. I did consider the morning after pill, but we've decided against it, so I'll be testing in about ten days time. I'll be okay with either outcome to be honest, I just can't believe I'm ovulating, and on the pill at that! I've put on a bit of weight since having LO that I haven't lost yet, so I figured that even off the pill ovulation might be tricky, so to be ovulating on the pill is shocking.

 

[katherinegrey]

Well, af got me, I got positive opks just for af to arrive the next day? Looks like the pill is really messing things up for me.

 

[hopefulfor1st]

Can the pill cause a + opk I wonder?!
I know it's normal for women to get a near + opk just before AF that's why they say not to continue testing after your +.


Nexis, I'd prob be taking an ntnp approach from now on. I mean if you go ahead and dtd now, then chances of conception are generally 20% per cycle so I'd prob go ahead and go for it!

I think ntnp will be the way we'll go. We haven't dtd this time as I've got a horrendous cold and I don't think I could manage it without coughing everywhere I've got another band fill 16th jan as well so I'm gonna have a chat with the nurse then.

 

[hopefulfor1st]

The way I see it is it generally takes a few months at least to conceive for most couples so your just getting the first few months outta the way!

is there a problem if we get conceive with PCOS ... we have to take care of diet and weight during pregnancy??

one of my frnd got preggo, and Dr recommend her go with only 7kg raise in weight else it will be complicated for baby n pregnancy

I think they generally don't want women to put on too much weight during pregnancy and as women with PCOS are sometimes either already overweight or can put on weight more easily than women without that doctors want us to watch our weight more so when pregnant.

I think docs don't want you to go too overweight due to higher risk of gestational diabetes. I'm no expert so don't quote me on that!

My younger sister had her baby boy on Boxing Day...he is sooo teeny!

 

[Aein]

ys this might be a point ... she is already over weight

 

[Bellybump89]

Sorry I'm not on much lately.. I've had like three colds this month that just keep coming back. I feel like death!

Anyway I'm sending lots of baby dust! and good luck

Oh I don't know if this helps but my doctor only wanted me to gain 25 pounds my last pregnancy I was 5ft and 143 pounds so a little overweight

 

[katherinegrey]

Hope you ladies are all doing well, we have made the decision to possibly ttc when Jamie turns 18 months old, which is in just over five months! So although I silently stalk and sometimes post, I imagine I'll be getting a lot more active in here very soon!

Happy New Year to all of you


so here 2013 end on the hope may be some good news :/

but now 2014 started and i really hope for something good, please pray for me

 

[nlk]

happy new year everyone!

I just wanted to say that I'm sorry I've not been in for so long...it's been really tough following the failed ivf, and I just didn't really have the energy to keep up with BnB.

I've updated the bfp count. If I've not included anyone, please let me know. I think bellybump and denyse had their bfps, but not sure on who else? I have a feeling I might have missed someone.

The count now stands at 30 because...

I'm pregnant!

I'm in complete shock. After having our failed ivf cycle back in October, I went to the consultant and explained that not only was I petrified of going back to the ivf, after having nearly died the first time, but I didn't feel like I was ready to let go of the idea of getting pregnant without it. I have always felt that ivf was a last resort, and I just couldn't bear the idea of going through it, feeling as though I hadn't tried everything else. So he agreed to give me a chance on letrozole again. Bear in mind that I've already had five failed cycles of this, and a failed clomid cycle, it was obvious that I was clutching at thin air in the hope of a miracle. But it worked! I genuinely can't wait to tell him, because he knows how much we've been through, and how long we've been trying.

I found out on new year's eve, and I *think* I'm due AF today. So when I tested I was about 13dpo. I've included a pic of my bfp! I still pick it up and look at it because I just can't believe that it's real!

I hope 2014 brings a whole new influx of bfps!!
