Hi ladies, Just a quick update on how things are going.. I've been so busy lately ..and I'll catch up with everyone later!

My hcg level at 19 DPO was 303 and then today they did another HCG blood test & progesterone level. I will get these results tomorrow or after... but I' m so nervous... Does this level sound normal? :worry:

That is a good number :)

[TTC5]

-opt today

How is the EWCM going?

[love being a mummy]

EWCM is gone

[TTC5]

Sounds like you have O'd then?

[Plum3]

5, how are your OPKs looking? You're due to O in the next day or so right?

[My Fabulous Children]

Hi ladies, How's everyone? I hope you're all doing well and I really Hope to see lots of BFP's for Christmas. GOOD LUCK to all :luck:

Sounds normal to me! What was your hcg level today?

[Plum3]

Bec, did you ovulate?

LBAM, FX for your BFP ..How was your timing?

SOrry ladies ..I'm trying to catch up on here :)

Yep, I O'd yesterday. This is my first cycle on Clomid and I had a trigger shot as well.

[TTC5]

5, how are your OPKs looking? You're due to O in the next day or so right?

After last months debacle I'm not using those opks anymore just using my CBFM. Still at low but the morning I get PEAK we will DTD that evening :) Am due to O tomorrow/Saturday if all goes to plan lol.

[TTC5]

Thanks. How's everything with you? Are you trying soon?

Waiting for O should be tomorrow/Saturday :)

[Plum3]

Yeah, good idea! The internet cheapies are rubbish. I clearly had a positive OPK with the OPKs my doctor gave me but with the internet cheapies it wasn't positive. I don't trust them!

[TTC5]

I am over stressing and obsessing.. I am so relaxed this month what will be will be.

[Plum3]

I am heaps more relaxed as well. I just want a baby!

[TTC5]

You have such a good chance with the clomid and trigger :)

[love being a mummy]

After last months debacle I'm not using those opks anymore just using my CBFM. Still at low but the morning I get PEAK we will DTD that evening :) Am due to O tomorrow/Saturday if all goes to plan lol.

Good luck xx

[TTC5]

Thanks LBAM :)

[Plum3]

You have such a good chance with the clomid and trigger :)

I hope so!

[3Pink1Blue]

Hey ladies! 30 wks today and off to see my midwife! I'll catch up later :)

[LolaInLove]

Aw, you look great, 3P1B! Hope your appt goes smashingly!!

TTC5 and Bec, isn't it SO much nicer to be laid back about it all? LOL That's pretty much all I can do anyway. FX this month is the charm and you get a Christmas bfp!

LBAM, hope your attempt worked also.....those dang opks! Who knows, hopefully you had a nice egg and all went well.

MFC, that sounds good and normal to me too. Update with your new level when they call! Hope you are feeling good! And NO WORRIES.....all is well until a well-qualified professional tells you it is not. And sometimes that is not even the case.

Thanks for the hugs about the due date. I ended up going to this rubbish theater show that we got free tickets to and the damn thing ended up being about abortion and death. Nice. I drank a whole bottle of wine myself and when we got home in bed, I apparently yelled at DH's balls. He thought it was funny, luckily.

[gizmo77]

lola, hilarious about yelling at his balls. and hugs too!! :-)

[My Fabulous Children]

I think it was ok, not sure of exact O but DTD CD18 10pm and then O approx lunch time CD19

Sounds Good, good luck x

[love being a mummy]

I ended up going to this rubbish theater show that we got free tickets to and the damn thing ended up being about abortion and death.
OMG :(
Where did you get the free tickets ?

[My Fabulous Children]

Sounds normal to me! What was your hcg level today?

I just called the Dr. office, they don't have the results yet I have to wait until tomorrow ..it's killing me!!!

[My Fabulous Children]

Yep, I O'd yesterday. This is my first cycle on Clomid and I had a trigger shot as well.

You have a good chance to get pregnant. FX!

[TTC5]

Lola that sounds awful! :(

[My Fabulous Children]

Waiting for O should be tomorrow/Saturday :)

Good luck! Are you going to DTD just once?

[My Fabulous Children]

Hey ladies! 30 wks today and off to see my midwife! I'll catch up later :)

Very Cute Jen♥

[My Fabulous Children]

Hi Lola, I will update with a new level when they call.

Funny about yelling at his balls and I'm so sorry that movie ended up being about abortion and death, You don't wanna see something like that on that date ..that's crazy!!! Hope you're feeling a little better now XOXO.

[My Fabulous Children]

Hi Gizmo77, When is your due date?

[TTC5]

Good luck! Are you going to DTD just once?

If I don't get PEAK tomorrow, we will prob attempt as tomorrow is day 4 of holding off for hubby... and I *should* O Sun or day after so would prob go again. IF I get PEAK tomorrow, will just do it once.

[TTC5]

Jen 30 weeks omg!! You look great girl!!

[3Pink1Blue]

Lola - I drank a few on my due date in April as well. Sorry your night sucked but so glad dh had a sense of humor about it.

Thanks everyone! Everything went great, measuring right on and to my amazement I passed my gestational diabetes test. After a few days of Halloween candy I wouldn't have been suprised if my levels were on a temporary spike and that nasty drink would have thrown me over. Luckily it didn't and I don't have to take the three hour test or watch my diet like a hawk. On the other hand I'm starting to feel very heavy lately, getting off the couch and rolling over is getting brutal lol

fx to everyone in the 2ww, hoping for lots of bfp's this month!

[2pinkNoblue]

Hello ladies! I think I am done pouting now and ready to get back to dreaming blue...How is everyone going?


Bec- how much clomid and what days are you taking it on? When do you know to do the trigger? now that my cycle is unrecognizable, I will definately be using clomid this cycle if I get it in time my Dr apt is on the 5th, and who knows when my cycle could start...

Lola--u crack me up! Sorry abt your rough day.

Cinss--you still going for it this month? Hows everything going?

5 and fab how you all doing?

I am still trying to get my plan together in time to try this month...does anyone on here do MSU?

[Hobbermittens]

Hi everyone!

Lola, that story about yelling at your DH's balls made me laugh! The show you went to sounds awful; I can see why you drank the wine!!

3P1B, you look great!! Closing in on the finish line... little Charlie will be here before you know it! :)

MFC, I hope your levels are good. I don't know anything about those numbers, but everyone seems to think they are good, so congrats!

Bec, I hope you get a BFP this time! How nice to know that you O'ed for sure--now sit back and relax fro the 2WW!

LBAM, are you in the 2WW now?

TTC5, good luck with your attempt! How many times are you going to DTD?

We are gearing up for our attempt in a few weeks. I am due for AF soon, and then off we go! My annoying DH is being less and less co-operative about all this, though. He is back to drinking his coffee, and he is still drinking beer and stuff. I am pissed off at him, but I can't really push it, or he will just say no baby. He can be a turd sometimes! I hope he doesn't screw up the whole sway.....

[TTC5]

Poor DH... he said to me today "I don't think we will have another because we have already tried 4 times this year and nothing..." He looked so sad, think he is feeling worried..

Then said something like "Maybe cos we want one so bad.." oh it made my heart melt to hear those words!!

My sister came over today with her 8 month old DD and DH just loves her to pieces lol he was soooo clucky!!!

[TTC5]

This is my plan ladies:

If I don't get PEAK tomorrow, we will prob attempt as tomorrow is day 4 of holding off for hubby... and I *should* O Sun or day after so would prob go again. IF I get PEAK tomorrow, will just do it once.

[gizmo77]

Hi Gizmo77, When is your due date?

i dont know exacly yet but according to internet aug 5. any word yet?

[love being a mummy]

LBAM, are you in the 2WW now?
Yes

[Cinss]

Hello ladies! I think I am done pouting now and ready to get back to dreaming blue...How is everyone going?

Cinss--you still going for it this month? Hows everything going?

Welcome back 2pink.:kiss: Yea i am definatly going for it this month, i tell you what it is going sooooo slow for me. I have been really good on the supps, pretty good on the diet and not so good with the working out. So you will be going for it in about 2 weeks? I'm just waiting for AF then i'm good to go:bluecheer: What is MSU?

[Plum3]

Lola, that's gold... yelling at DH's balls. Too funny.

MFC, no results yet?

3, lovely belly, just gorgeous! Good to hear you passed the GCT as well and that everything is going great.

2pink, I took 50mg Clomid from CD4-8. I had an u/s on CD10 and then another on CD13. You get the trigger once you have a follicle/s that is big enough. I had my trigger on CD13 as I had a 21mm follicle.

Hobber, thankyou! Hard to enjoy the 2ww though, it's awful! I hear you about DH, mine was always sneaking in a Dr Pepper or beer. Ah well, no point in stressing.

5, your DH sounds like a sweetie. So deep down he really does want another baby, fantasic :) Your plan sounds great!

Cinss, good luck with your next attempt.

Everyone else, hi!!

So I'm having the same cramping and back aches I had last cycle. Not reading too much into seeing as last month was a bfn. My best friend has been trying to have a baby for about 6 months and just found out yesterday that she will need to have IVF due to male and female factors. I feel so sad for her. I really want this cycle to work but then I worry how I will tell her we are pregnant with baby #3 when she hasn't even conceived a first baby :(

[TTC5]

Bec - yep he sure does!! He melts my heart :)

[Flava]

Hey girls!
just want to say good luck to all and send lots of baby dust! I have so much lol

[Cinss]

Thanks Bec :fx:

[Alexis2007]

Hello again ladies!!! Just wanted to update you all on me.

I had some lab work done about 3 weeks ago. He tested me for:

Insulin
Glucose
Prolactin
Cortisol
Cortisol 24hr urine
Progesterone
Testosterone (free and total)
TSH

All came back perfectly normal!! That's a good thing but still I have no answers for my symptoms. But he wants DH to have a SA and me get an HSG. I'm all for that but the insurance and costs may prevent me from getting an HSG right now. His plan is to put me on Clomid as long as my tubes are clear.

[TTC5]

Glad your results were all fine, hopefully the rest go well too!!

[Plum3]

Everyone's gone quiet!

Alexis, good news that your results were all normal. Will you keep TTC naturally until you can have the HSG?

[TTC5]

I'm here just waiting for O :)

[Cinss]

I'm here just waiting for O :)

Me too... well AF then O... can it go any slower?!?

[love being a mummy]

I'm waiting to test. Still only 4DPO it's going so slow.

[Cinss]

How was everyones weekend? Ours was pretty good, we had the stepkids over, went to the markets and bought a new Xmas tree and put it up, it looks great it's one of the ones that has the fibre optic lights on it already.

[TTC5]

Found a stash of cbfm test sticks stashed at the back of my cupboard this morning yayyyy!

Still on high.. working in my favour though to re build up the sperm. Lucky DH did release after all lol.

[love being a mummy]

I don't think I o'd on CD18, maybe my body was getting ready to O and then didn't.
I've had +opt all day today and ewcm, then earlier tonight I had some ewcm with tiny tiny spots of blood.
Today is CD24, DTD tonight just incase I do O tonight.

Back to the start of 2ww for me.

[2pinkNoblue]

Welcome back 2pink.:kiss: Yea i am definatly going for it this month, i tell you what it is going sooooo slow for me.

Yeah I think I am just going to go for it...My plan will never be perfect and even then there is no garuantee anyway so I am not gonna stress about it anymore, I have a Dr apt on wednesday to get my script for Clomid and talk to him about using a trigger too...FX! I am waiting to see when my next cycle starts cause I was supposed to start AF tommorow but I started like two weeks early so I dont know what my body is doing I may just ask for Provera so I can start cycle and go for it...When are you due to O?

[2pinkNoblue]

Me too... well AF then O... can it go any slower?!?

Me three waiting for AF then O...SSSOOO Slow...

[WashingtonPromise]

Lola: So sorry to hear about your due date night, so glad DH thought it was funny. I bet you are sooo busy with the Nutcracker.

MFC: I was hoping to see an update on you, hope all is well.

Jen: Love the belly, not too long. The last 10 wks always go by so fast.

We went to the ballet on Sunday and had a great time. It was about 2 hrs from the house, so it was an all day affair, but worth it. After a crazy busy weekend, and then a craft day (ordaments) today, I think I am going to stay home all week and rest / do schoolwork. I really need to start slowing down. I think my body is just tired and I can not kick this cold....again.

Good Luck to all the 2WW, it should be interesting the next couple weeks.

[My Fabulous Children]

Hi ladies, I just got my 2nd beta results-847 at 21 DPO, Numbers more than doubled in 48 hours, it was 303 at 19 DPO :pray: The doctor wants to see me again in 4 weeks.

[My Fabulous Children]

If I don't get PEAK tomorrow, we will prob attempt as tomorrow is day 4 of holding off for hubby... and I *should* O Sun or day after so would prob go again. IF I get PEAK tomorrow, will just do it once.

Sounds really good, good luck dear xxx

[My Fabulous Children]

Hi everyone!

Hi Alexis, Glad that your results came back normal.

[Cinss]

Me three waiting for AF then O...SSSOOO Slow...

AF arrived yesterday (3days earlier than expected) So will O around the 22nd. Are you doing OPK's at the moment?

[Cinss]

I don't think I o'd on CD18, maybe my body was getting ready to O and then didn't.
I've had +opt all day today and ewcm, then earlier tonight I had some ewcm with tiny tiny spots of blood.
Today is CD24, DTD tonight just incase I do O tonight.

Back to the start of 2ww for me.

I was wondering what you would do, the site went down for me yesterday just after i saw your tough situation. If it was me i would have gone for it too.

Lets say that you did infact O on CD18 - If you DTD last night it wouldn't have any effect on your attempt because you would already have a fertilized egg implanting, or your egg has died of old age. And if you O on day 24/25 you just gave yourself a better shot at falling pregnant.

[My Fabulous Children]

LBAM, What about your temps? If your temps haven't risen than you haven't o'ed.

[TTC5]

Got a PEAK this morning! DH and I are both sick though (head colds) will this sway girl?

[TTC5]

Hi ladies, I just got my 2nd beta results-847 at 21 DPO, Numbers more than doubled in 48 hours, it was 303 at 19 DPO :pray: The doctor wants to see me again in 4 weeks.

Excellent!!

I've had +opt all day today and ewcm, then earlier tonight I had some ewcm with tiny tiny spots of blood.
Today is CD24, DTD tonight just incase I do O tonight.

Back to the start of 2ww for me.

I would have done the same!!

[love being a mummy]

Yeah site went down just after I posted, I was checking like crazy to see if it was back and if anyone had replied.
I thought the same as you, If I did O on CD18 I would already have a fertilised egg so last night won't matter.
But if I am Oing now I didn't want the 5 day cutt off so thought it was best to dtd.

[love being a mummy]

LBAM, What about your temps? If your temps haven't risen than you haven't o'ed.
I haven't been taking temp

[love being a mummy]

Got a PEAK this morning! DH and I are both sick though (head colds) will this sway girl?

Does Peak mean positive?


I would have done the same!!
Thanks for chatting with me last night while the site was down.

[TTC5]

Does Peak mean positive?


Thanks for chatting with me last night while the site was down.

Anytime :)

[My Fabulous Children]

Got a PEAK this morning! DH and I are both sick though (head colds) will this sway girl?

Being sick lower your pH. I would go for it, If your pH is high enough.

[My Fabulous Children]

I haven't been taking temp

Oh ok, then go with your OPKs and CM.

[TTC5]

Being sick lower your pH. I would go for it, If your pH is high enough.

I've stopped checking my pH as it was getting too obsessive for me!

[Hobbermittens]

Got a PEAK this morning! DH and I are both sick though (head colds) will this sway girl?

I think it does sway girl. Did you go for it anyway? Maybe the diet and supps will counter-act the sickness!

[TTC5]

We did yep :)

[Plum3]

How was everyones weekend? Ours was pretty good, we had the stepkids over, went to the markets and bought a new Xmas tree and put it up, it looks great it's one of the ones that has the fibre optic lights on it already.

I have always wanted a fibre optic tree. They are pretty expensive I think?

[Plum3]

Yeah I think I am just going to go for it...My plan will never be perfect and even then there is no garuantee anyway so I am not gonna stress about it anymore, I have a Dr apt on wednesday to get my script for Clomid and talk to him about using a trigger too...FX! I am waiting to see when my next cycle starts cause I was supposed to start AF tommorow but I started like two weeks early so I dont know what my body is doing I may just ask for Provera so I can start cycle and go for it...When are you due to O?

Yep, definitely ask about the trigger. When you take Clomid will your doctor monitor you with ultrasounds? As far as I know the trigger will only be prescribed when the follicles reach a certain size and the only way to know this is by having ultrasounds.

[Plum3]

Hi ladies, I just got my 2nd beta results-847 at 21 DPO, Numbers more than doubled in 48 hours, it was 303 at 19 DPO :pray: The doctor wants to see me again in 4 weeks.

Fantastic!! :)

[Plum3]

5, how many attempts did you have? How many dpo are you now?

[TTC5]

We had one attempt yesterday arvo, my CM is now creamy so don't want to go again. I am pretty sure I have O'd already so only 1dpo, if that lol.

[Plum3]

Hope this cycle is the one!

[Cinss]

I have always wanted a fibre optic tree. They are pretty expensive I think?

Not really, i think we paid $30 from Kmart

[Cinss]

We had one attempt yesterday arvo, my CM is now creamy so don't want to go again. I am pretty sure I have O'd already so only 1dpo, if that lol.

:fx:for you

[Cinss]

Everyone... If you haven't already i would love some more guesses on my SIL's ultrasound pics, she finds out on Friday. Thank you.

[TTC5]

I had a job interview today too for a position for next year so FX for me again please LOL or am I pushing it now :P

[Cinss]

I had a job interview today too for a position for next year so FX for me again please LOL or am I pushing it now :P

Not at all, we all have 2 hands :fingers::fingers:

[My Fabulous Children]

I've stopped checking my pH as it was getting too obsessive for me!

I did exactly the same ...

[My Fabulous Children]

We had one attempt yesterday arvo, my CM is now creamy so don't want to go again. I am pretty sure I have O'd already so only 1dpo, if that lol.

FX you get your BFP soon!

[My Fabulous Children]

I had a job interview today too for a position for next year so FX for me again please LOL or am I pushing it now :P

:fx:

[My Fabulous Children]

:wave:Hello everyone !It's a little too quiet around here, I hope everyone is doing well. xxx

[TTC5]

I'm guessing the silly season has a lot of us super busy!!??

I'm still here plodding along LOL I am feeling much more optimistic for next year, I just know we will have our little bubba then :) I am hoping to pick up more employment too and DH will have his diploma by next Xmas YAYY! So lots to look forward to.

Not getting my hopes up this month so taking a very relaxed approached to TTC and the TWW ;)

[Plum3]

Not really, i think we paid $30 from Kmart

Oh, really? I don't know where I got the idea that they were pricey from.

[Plum3]

I had a job interview today too for a position for next year so FX for me again please LOL or am I pushing it now :P

Was that the one at your daughter's school?

[TTC5]

Was that the one at your daughter's school?

Yep!!

I definately got relief positions for next year so that is great!

[love being a mummy]

Somethings not right.
My opt's are still + and now getting a few pains and a little bit of EW
maybe my body is trying to O but it hasn't been able to.

[3Pink1Blue]

MFC- glad things are going well, can't wait for the update in 4 wks!

5- there's always more fxing to go around, gl on the job!

Lbam- sorry your egg is giving you so much trouble. I had mine fairly figured out but when attempt time came I was a few days late. It's so frustrating.

Kudos to those who've given up on an unchanging pH. Mine wouldn't budge without bsf so I stopped checking because it had me convinced I was doomed to fail. Hopefuly that gives you all some hope :)


Sorry to be absent, we've been so busy. My girls are out of school till January so we're trying to pack in lots of fun and quality time. I've got the nursery/dd3's room almost finished (minus paint) so I'll be posting pics soon. Gl to everyone, so exciting to be ttc this time of year!!

[Hobbermittens]

Hey everyone! I am on my last day of AF, and then it is attempt week! :nails: I am a little more relaxed than last time because I know what to expect this time, but I am having trouble getting farm eggs for the EW (I posted a whole thread about it) and DH has been releasing even though I told him not to (thread about that too).

I am excited though--I just want to be done swaying!!

[LolaInLove]

Hi everyone! I've been super busy as well.

To answer someone's question, I get all sorts of free tickets.....one perk of my job....I run a big ballet company so I know all the peeps in the industry where I live. I had no idea this show was about death and abortion, and of course, they don't advertise that! But eh, we had a good night, for the most part.

I have a bunch of comments, so bear with me. I figured better to write all on same post so this thread doesn't get 100 pages deep already!

Hobbers, sorry about your DH. They are frustrating. I would just say maybe try not to worry about the soda/beer, etc, because I don't think it matters that much. I know some DHs are not into the swaying, but the most important thing is that he is probably not smoking much or being super unhealthy and not releasing like 2x a day all month, kwim? Try to control what you can, and just feed him well and ask him to take vits for the health of a future baby, or just crush them up and mix them into the spaghetti sauce, LOL.

LBAM, I think it is common for women to sometimes almost ovulate, and then not, and then actually ovulate a week or so later. Sometimes the body doesn't make enough estrogen to trigger the LH surge and thus, ovulation, and it will gear up and try again. Maybe some of the supps you are taking is causing this, or maybe it is just a random one-time occurrence. Maybe stress about ovulating has an effect.....no one really knows, but as long as you track it and DO ovulate at some point, I think all is well. I think you did now and are safely in the 2ww. I would say if this happens again, maybe try to just dtd every other or every 3rd day for a good stretch of the month and you should have it covered, and be swaying blue with a good sperm count.

2PnB- I took 50mg of Clomid with no trigger shot....which many docs prescribe to start off with. What they will do is likely give you a 50mg scrip, taking anywhere from CD2-4 on for 5 days, and then probably want to do a CD21 progesterone check to see if you ovulated. (And my advice for that is to track your O and just go for the prog check 7 days after O....they always assume you O on CD14, which is stupid medical status quo that is used still.) What I'm saying is that you may not need a trigger, just the Clomid. If you are not ovulating after the Clomid (as evidenced by your progesterone level at 7dpo), then they may add in a trigger.

3P1B- yay for a good appt and passing the GD test! Do you homeschool? How are your girls done so early? I'd love that!

Bec- my advice with your friend would be to just be honest but sensitive while telling her if you get pg. From my stance and situation, I can tell you that I've had many friends say they didn't want to tell me, which made me feel worse, actually. I think real friends will be happy for you even if they have fertility issues....as long as you don't rub it in their faces, which I am sure you wouldn't do anyway. That sucks that she needs ivf though....I am all too familiar with having to stare the lab in the face with the prospect of having a baby, especially because of the price. Just offer your support as much as possible but don't feel bad about announcing if you are pregnant. She will respect you for your honesty and friendship.

Alexis, I gotta say.....I wish we had done an SA way earlier. I don't think it's a bad idea, just to know. Just in case, because things can change for us in a skinny minute with fertility, and I'd hate for you to have months of confusion and frustration if you didn't know like we did. I am much happier now that we know, so we can specifically work on the sperm issue and also have a sense of calm because we know it may take a while. As far as the HSG- my doc wanted me to have one a long time ago, and my out-of-pocket costs would have been over 2K, so I told her we'd wait on that. Odds are if you had babies recently (and yours are little, right?) and haven't had any surgery or anything funny going on down there that you are not blocked. I'll tell ya, girl, sometimes it just takes a while to conceive and there is nothing in the world wrong with you. I would say that Clomid might be a good first step....just a few months on it....and see if that helps. Maybe you are not ovulating as regularly? Also, maybe you guys are missing your o? I don't know, just a few suggestions. I am really glad that your tests all came back good, though! Have you guys been dtd a lot or just a one-time shot? You may need to dtd every other day from CD10-18 or so and see if that helps. My doc recommended that for us early on.

WP- good lord, I am so sorry you are still sick!!!! Glad you had fun at the show also! Seems like you need a week of down time before Christmas mayhem if you can swing it. When is your scan?

MFC- YAY for good numbers!!!! Looks like a sticky bean!!!! xxoo

And hi and lots of love and luck to everyone else, of course!

As for us- not much happening. I am CD10, just trying some different bd patterns to see if it affects DH's good old swimmers. We have decided to just try away until it happens and if nothing ever, then we are as we are. I have decided to investigate donor sperm and IUI just in case in a couple of years I just decide I must have one, but DH is not a big fan of that idea at all (for now). I am not really either, but I just can't stomach paying 25K for a baby. We just can't do it. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

[TTC5]

Somethings not right.
My opt's are still + and now getting a few pains and a little bit of EW
maybe my body is trying to O but it hasn't been able to.

Hard to tell without temping, let us know how you go today!

So I had my Dr apt today with the new OB/GYN and he said I was fat and that is why I don't ovulate.....not joking! He would not even listen to me saying that I had this issue before I had kids and was extremely fit, He then proceeded to lecture me on not eating carbs, starchs, etc...As I balling my eyes out, he said nothing didnt even offer me a tissue....Nothing like being called "OBESE" ( BTW I am about 80 kilos) by a Dr, makes me wanna stop TTC and kinda wanna jump off a bridge...I am really sad right now, I think I am where u were at TTC5....My dh asked me what the Dr said I told him my apt got bumped, didnt want to tell him too embarassed :tissue:

[Cinss]

2pink i'm so sorry your Dr treated you that way, sheesh what was his problem!?!

[love being a mummy]

That is so wrong hun. I can't believe a Dr can say those things :( I think you should put in a complaint.

2pink, I'm so sorry dear!That's so so so mean, Sending you lots of hugs.

[Plum3]

2pink, I am sorry about your appointment with that silly doctor. Can you see someone else? Not all doctors are like that so hopefully you will be able to see a different one that isn't so judgmental.

That's awful! That doctor needs to work on his bedside manner! I'm sorry you are feeling crappy right now. :(

[gizmo77]

geez what is the matter with ppl these days??? i cant believe that dr 2pink. he is obviously not a good one. i run accross drs like that all the time. one even INSISTED that i had syphillis. (and i DONT and have the labs to prove it) just bc of one very common discrepancy in my bloodwork. and he is a super experienced perinatalogist. but i could tell right away he was a pompous asshole who wanted nothing more than to get on his boat. drs like these dont LISTEN and therefore misdiagnose all the time. i would switch if you could esply if there are more drs in his group. good lluck!

[love being a mummy]

I think I finally got a -opt today.

[2pinkNoblue]

Thank you ladies!!! Really that makes me feel SO much better...I felt so low yesterday, pretty much cried all day and googled weight loss stuff...This is the second Dr that I have had a bad expierience with regard to my annovulatory state....is this totally crazy, I am thinking about ordering Clomid online?

[2pinkNoblue]

LBAM--why wld you +'s last so long?

[love being a mummy]

[TTC5]

3 dpo and had a big rise this morning although it doesn't really matter at this stage hey? I did wake and had a small amount of the runs??

[love being a mummy]

Yay!!!!

Did you see the pic?

[Plum3]

5, nah I wouldn't think temp spikes or other symptoms would signify anything at this stage.

LBAM, maybe you had a really long surge?

2pink, I would be really careful with ordering Clomid online. It can be quite dangerous if you aren't monitored properly. And you don't really know for sure that what you are ordering is actually 'Clomid'. Totally up to you of course but I would be wary. Is there another doctor you can see?

[Plum3]

Thanks for the advice Lola. She knows we are TTC so she would know if I was lying to her about pregnant anyway. It wouldn't feel right not telling her when we eventually get pregnant anyway. She knows we're swaying too so that's why it makes telling her a little bit harder. She would give anything for either gender (as I know you would) and here I am being picky.

What BD patterns are you trying? Did your DH only get one SA done? I can't remember if he had more done or not?

[TTC5]

Did you see the pic?

Off to look :)

[TTC5]

Bec, when are you testing?

[love being a mummy]

:( I was supposed to be testing tomorrow :(

[TTC5]

Oh LBAM :( So do you think you are in for a chance this cycle or not? xx

[Plum3]

I've been testing every day to see when the trigger was out of my system. I got a definite bfn this morning so it's all gone. For days I've been waiting to see a bfn and now I want to see a bfp. I'll test again tomorrow!

[Cinss]

I was supposed to be 10DPO tomorrow but according the OPT's I don't think I O'd on CD19, it showed me Oing around CD24. So that means I am only 5dpo tomorrow.

Yep very quiet.

Thankyou! :D You too! I hope December brings alot of BFPs!

[Plum3]

That's different for you?

Yep, it is. Normally I only get cramps the day AF arrives. I had it during the 2ww with both my girls but I also had it in the 2ww last cycle. So I'm trying not to read into it as it could be nothing.

[Plum3]

It's all us Oz mums at the moment!

[Kris217]

Saw my Ob today, got to see bub for a few minutes too :) I've been having issues with my heart the past week so I had some blood taken which came back ok but on Monday I need to call up about having a monitor on for 24 hours to see if that picks anything up. I can't sleep on my left side any more because my heart feels like it's under so much pressure and feels like it's going to stop! Kind of worried me, especially because my family has a bad history of heart issues. I'm so frustrated they were closed today and I have to go all weekend with this. My Ob said go to the hospital if it gets bad but I don't know what is considered bad. I just know I feel sick and feels like someone is sitting on my chest.

Good luck to you ladies in the 2WW! You're testing soon so FX for all BFP'S for Christmas!! :)

[2pinkNoblue]

LBAM and TTC5 ---Good Luck on testing!
I do feel like December is going to agood boy month, I am worried that my AF wont show up with out meds :( So i may miss lucky December, but good luck to you all!

Bec-- I know it can be dangerous but I am so frustrated with these Dr's and everytime I go it costs over a $100 bc my deductible was not met this year and insurnce is crappy! ( I work in local government) I am just out of ideas here...

[TTC5]

Kris, gosh girl I hope your ok!!!!

4dpo for me :)

[love being a mummy]

My partner has used Clomid for months unmonitored, the Dr just doesn't think it's necessary I guess. I also used it twice and I was fine. Just be careful and research the place you end up buying it from.

[Kris217]

Kris, gosh girl I hope your ok!!!!

4dpo for me :)

Thanks, it could be nothing but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I just think it feels way too uncomfortable to be normal so we'll see what the monitor picks up.
Yay 4 DPO, you'll be testing soon :) I remember every time I was in the 2WW I didn't want to run around in case the egg got bounced around too much and couldn't implant lol turned out the only month I did run around was the one I got pregnant!
How is your temp going?
I've still got my chart and I see mine only increased a little so don't always expect a huge jump :)

[My Fabulous Children]

LOL that's cute about the running :P

Well temps are nice and high so thats a good start but doesn't really mean anything yet. I don't want to SS but yesterday morning before getting out of bed I had the urge to run to the toilet and had a bout of the runs and then was fine.. thought it was something I ate maybe but the exact same thing happened this morning too. Probably nothing hey but kind of had me thinking after it happened again this morning..

[Kris217]

Hmm if it's happen 2 days in a row now it could be something. Weird it's just happening in the mornings though....
I remember we went to maccas when I was about 8DPO and everything tasted weird, I made Sarah try it in case it was bad but it was fine to her so that was definitely a sign to me. She's actually put off her plans to get pregnant till after my bub is born. We want to see how we go with 1 first then we'll decide if we can handle 2.
We've had my sisters 2 girls everyday for about 2 months while she was renovating a house and the 6 month old is a very difficult baby. She constantly wants to be held and cries all the time and hardly sleeps so that done our heads in lol. Then when she was screaming the 18 month old started too cos she wanted attention, so we'll see what kind of temperament this bub has before we try for another one :)

[TTC5]

Sounds like a sensible plan K!

Kris, I hope you are okay!! I got diagnosed with PVC's during my first pregnancy and had to wear a monitor. I hope your doctor can help you put your mind at ease! DOn't hesitate to go to the hospital if you feel really bad. From my understanding, the heart has to work so much harder during pregnancy, pumping all that extra blood, that sometimes we notice things. I have had PVC's all my life I guess, but they are worse during pregnancy because of the extra blood.

Thanks, I just looked up PVC's as I haven't heard of that before. Not sure if that's what I have but I guess I will find out during the week. Hopefully there is no wait on the monitor, I really need to find out what's going on.

They feel like you heart has a hiccup. That's the best I can describe it. Apparently they are super common, but not harmful unless you have other heart issues I think? My Dr. wasn't concerned. I hope you get some answers soon!

[3Pink1Blue]

Hobber - woohoo for your upcoming attempt, FX and blue dust!!!

Lola - No homeschool here we are on year round. The track we chose has all December off and we love it! It gives us lots of time to play in the snow (if it ever freakin snows here), bake, engage in any and all Christmas parties and fun without worrying about early mornings or school. It's fantastic!

2PNB - Sorry the dr was so cruel. I've only conceived 1 of my 6 pregnancies at a healthy weight. It takes being 100 or so lbs overweight to dampen your fertility. I say find another dr with a real personality.
I wouldn't order chlomid online, you never know where it's coming from and I know it's dangerous when unmonitored. You don't want to hurt yourself permanently.

Kris - holy cow girl, hope everything is ok!
Sorry about the fussy nieces but remember you have a lot of control over if your baby will be high maintenance and need constant attention. Yes some babies do need more attention then others but crazy high maintenance babies are often parent created.

Does anyone here live in Texas by any chance? Dh may be transferred there depending on the pay and I'd love to have some info not from google. My brain is flooded with the logistics of all of this so I've gotten almost nothing done lol

Oh yeah I see my sisters mistakes, she does run to her as soon as she cries because her father works nights and sleeps during the days. Guess my sister doesn't want him woken up. Hopefully I won't make those same mistakes cos you sure end up paying for it later!

I've got about 3 days until test time.

[Plum3]

Hey everyone :)

Kris, sorry to hear about your heart problems. Hopefully the monitor can pick up what is going on. Do you get palpitations? Might be SVT?

2pink, it's not the non-monitoring when on Clomid that is the most dangerous. I think getting Clomid online is worse because even though all those companies claim it is 'Clomid' how can you really know? Sorry, I don't mean to nag you or tell you what to do, just be careful! Which, I am sure you will be anyway.

5 and LBAM, testing soon yeah?

MFC, thanks for the good luck... *think* it worked!

I've been super busy with work and xmas parties so haven't been on for a few days. DH wanted me to himself as well. Anyway I did poas again (and again, and again!) and got a faint, barely there line at 10dpo (12 days post trigger). Still getting bfp's today and the line is darker today! I'm just so worried it is the trigger still so I am cautiously optimistic!!

You may need to dtd every other day from CD10-18 or so and see if that helps. My doc recommended that for us early on.


Hey Lola!!! I can't believe the HSG costs so much there! Wow! My hospital said the whole procedure only costs about $900, but is subject to my deductible. Hoping I can get it, but like you said, I got pregnant in August so at least one of my tubes are open lol. But I have had abdominal surgery twice in the past 5 years. They were c-sections lol.

We have tried the every other day thing, every day thing, etc. I am charting and it shows O every month. So...idk. I know it can take a perfectly healthy couple a year to conceive as we only have about a 20% chance of getting pregnant every month. I guess I am just impatient.

I have DH scheduled for a SA in January (earliest appt available). Hoping he doesn't have to go in though. I'm currently 9dpo and feeling pretty good about this cycle. Take a look at my chart. It's the prettiest one I've ever had! FX

I'm just getting unbelievably exhausted doing the smallest things, it's so frustrating. So you're getting bfp's on a hpt? :)

I'm just so worried it is the trigger still so I am cautiously optimistic!!

Oh how exciting Bec!! The line would not be getting darker if it were the trigger though, would it?

I am going to test at 10dpo so another 4 days to go!!!

[TTC5]

Hey Lola!!! I can't believe the HSG costs so much there! Wow! My hospital said the whole procedure only costs about $900, but is subject to my deductible. Hoping I can get it, but like you said, I got pregnant in August so at least one of my tubes are open lol. But I have had abdominal surgery twice in the past 5 years. They were c-sections lol.

We have tried the every other day thing, every day thing, etc. I am charting and it shows O every month. So...idk. I know it can take a perfectly healthy couple a year to conceive as we only have about a 20% chance of getting pregnant every month. I guess I am just impatient.

I have DH scheduled for a SA in January (earliest appt available). Hoping he doesn't have to go in though. I'm currently 9dpo and feeling pretty good about this cycle. Take a look at my chart. It's the prettiest one I've ever had! FX

Looks good!!

[Cinss]

Hey Bec thats GREAT news!!!! Woohooo :bluecheer:

[Plum3]

Oh how exciting Bec!! The line would not be getting darker if it were the trigger though, would it?

I am going to test at 10dpo so another 4 days to go!!!

No it shouldn't getting darker so I am hoping it's the real deal!

[Plum3]

Hey Bec thats GREAT news!!!! Woohooo :bluecheer:

Thanks! :D

[Kris217]

Well hopefully it's nothing serious. It's hard enough being tired from being pregnant let alone adding heart issues into the equation.

Yep, bfp's :D Going to test again tomorrow morning and if the line is darker I will call my doctor for a blood test!

Oh wow congratulations, hope it's darker in the morning! I'm sure it will be if it's showing up already :) Yay!!!

[TTC5]

No it shouldn't getting darker so I am hoping it's the real deal!

Sounds like it is!!!!!! How exciting Bec!!!!

[My Fabulous Children]

YAY Bec!!! Congratulations :bluecheer:

[love being a mummy]

Bec were you the one that was testing to make sure all the trigger was gone, and you tested until you got a BFN ?

[My Fabulous Children]

Oh how exciting Bec!! The line would not be getting darker if it were the trigger though, would it?

I am going to test at 10dpo so another 4 days to go!!!

TTC5 I really hope you get your BFP this month! 4 days is not too long.

[LolaInLove]

YAYYYYYY BEC!!! I think she did test for bfns first....so this is probably the real deal!!! I am so excited to hear how it goes this morning for ya! And on the note about your friend- I know what you mean, it is always hard to see someone get what you so desperately want, but that is life....especially with infertility. Babies and preggos are all around me, and that's just the way it is. My sister is about to ttc and I'm sure she'll be fine....and I'll just have to remove my personal pity party self from that, like I do all of my loved ones and friends who are having babies. Anyway, I am so hoping this is a little bean for you!!!

2PNB: I would have slapped that doctor upside the head. I would most definitely call and complain about him. Search online about writing reviews for docs and such. He sounds like a real winner. I know you have issues with finances and switching docs....believe me, I have a ton of lab bills I'm still paying off from all of my testing, which was not cheap....but I think it may be worth it to do some investigating of a local doc who is recommended by women you know. And ya know, I agree with Bec about the online Clomid....I'm sure there are a couple of good online pharmacies, but I am just wary of that.

Kris, OMG.....I hope you are doing ok!!!! Hopefully they can get your ticker settled down soon enough with some meds if nothing else. Hugs, lady!

TTC5, I'm sorry you have the runs...maybe it is a good sign? Hope this is your month!

3P1B- holy cow, I would love year-round school so much!!! I wish they offered that where I live!! And speaking of that, I grew up in Houston and my family lives in Austin now....so I'm a pretty knowledgable Texan....pm me if you have any questions or need advice.

Alexis- I bet you are just fine, to be honest. Since you conceived recently, it may just be that it's taking more time now, for one reason or another. I do think it's a good idea to have the SA done, though, because male factor is the problem 40% of the time, and men's counts and motility and all can change month to month. For example, if your DH has a mild infection in his body, it can affect the counts drastically. Sometimes all it takes is an antibiotic for a week to clear it up and he's back to normal. Little things like that. And of course, it could be nothing at all but just taking longer this time around! It is very frustrating, though, I know. I would continue to just be as healthy as possible (both of you) and keep trying. How long has it been though? Once you hit a year, you should worry....that is the general rule for under 35s. Hoping it's all good, though. (:

MFC, how are you doing?

So, I think I ovulated yesterday. We tried and interesting new pattern this month. We dtd on CD10 and then waited till yesterday morning (CD14) and dtd then and again last night. FX for some better numbers this month!

[TTC5]

FX LOLA!!!!

[2pinkNoblue]

BEC ---Congrats, I am so excited for you! Seriously this cheered me up!:flowerz:

[2pinkNoblue]

All the BFP's should be rolling in soooooon! :fx:

You are so positive Cinss,Love it! when are you due to O again?

[Plum3]

Bec were you the one that was testing to make sure all the trigger was gone, and you tested until you got a BFN ?

Yes, that's me.

[Plum3]

Thanks for the congrats Kris, 5, 2pink and MFC :)

Lola, thankyou as well. I am hoping the new BD pattern works a charm for you!

I tested with FMU this morning and the line wasn't any darker. I checked again a few hours later and the line was darker than the FMU (same thing happened yesterday). After doing some googling I'm not stressing that the line isn't getting darker, it's there and that's what matters. So I am having a blood test tomorrow :)

I should be Oing around the 22nd of Dec, it will be our first month TTC boy, i am so excited!

[Cinss]

Lola, good idea switching up the timing thing... i still haven't decided how i am going to do it.

[begonia]

BEC! Congrats hun! So happy for you!

Lola and TTC5, FX for you gals!

Good luck Cinss!

Sorry for missing peeps, I just read back a couple of pages because I saw someone congratulate Bec so had to pop in and do the same :)

[Kris217]

Well I got my heart monitor, I am very frustrated as my Ob said it would be a 24 hour thing but it turns out it's gonna be a week long thing!!! I really wanted answers tomorrow or the day after but now I have to wait till next Tues or Weds.

[love being a mummy]

So I decided to test today cause if I did O on CD19 my AF would have been due today and it's not here and BFN so I guess that confirms it I did not O on CD19.
O would have been around CD24 so that makes me 8dpo, 2 more days until testing :)

[Cinss]

LBAM the 2 day wait huh... hope it goes quick for you!

[love being a mummy]

LBAM the 2 day wait huh... hope it goes quick for you!
I'm thinking of trying tomorrow. I've been googling BFP's 9dpo maybe I might get one aswell :)

[LolaInLove]

Good luck, LBAM!!!

Hi B, how are you? Miss ya!

[TTC5]

8 dpo today, going slow now!! Trying hard not to test!!!!

[Hobbermittens]

So I am supposed to DTD today or tomorrow...think I will start tonight if my opks ever turn +! I am surprised I haven't gotten a + yet... tons of EWCM, though. I am on CD12, and I usually get + by now. Hopefully by tonight! DH has abstained 2 days so far (a miracle!) so I have to DTD tonight or tomorrow morning, or I think he will "help himself" and ruin everything!

Good luck with your testing, LBAM and TTC5!

[Hobbermittens]

Congrats, Bec!! Great news!! :bluecheer:

Lola, I hope this is your month! Maybe the new pattern will work! :)

Kris, I hope you get some answers from the monitor. Sorry you have to wear it for so long. :(

[love being a mummy]

8 dpo today, going slow now!! Trying hard not to test!!!!
You can do it :)

[love being a mummy]

BFN but I keep imagining a 2nd line lmao

[Cinss]

BFN but I keep imagining a 2nd line lmao

Power of positive thinking!!!

TTC5 have you really waited a whole 8 days without POS???

[Hobbermittens]

Ladies, I need some help here... I am due to get a +opk and O sometime this week. I am on day 12 and nothing--usually I get + by now, stay + for 24hrs, and O the day after that. I usually O on CD13 or 14. But I haven't had a +opk yet! Weird? Anyway, I was going to DTD tonight, I think we should wait now? What do you all think? I had wanted to DTD starting withthe +opk and BD that night and the next night as well. (I know it is late, so I am guessing no one will answer this in time anyway)

I think everyone has been Oing later than expected around now, it is totally weird! If it was me i would wait to see the +opk, that is only because they do work for me, and i see that you have been getting +'s previously so they do work for you too. Good luck with whatever you decide, go with your gut.

Yeah don't sweat it, 8DPO is early. I got a BFN on 9DPO and a + at 11DPO. So yeah try to wait just a few more days :)

[love being a mummy]

I know crazy hey!! Maybe it is the moon or something, LOL!!

It is crazy.

[3Pink1Blue]

Bec - Congrats!!

FX for many more BFP's over the next few days!!

Busy but chugging along over here. Getting so big and heavy :)

[Hobbermittens]

I would wait. GL!

I did wait. I amgetting a fade-in today and will probably have +opk tonight. We are going to DTD tonight and tomorrow night.

Sorry for the BFN TTC5, but 8DPO is early, hang in there!!

[Hobbermittens]

Getting so big and heavy :)
You are getting so close!! You must be s excited!!

Thanks--we waited, and are DTD tonight. I have noticed the late O's as well. I wonder if stress from swaying pushes it back or something? I think part of my issue is that I have a different idea of what CD1 is. I consider CD1 to be the first day of any kind of activity, whether it be spotting or actual flow. So I had spotting on Dec. 2, and I called that CD1, which means that today is CD13. But if I have to count CD1 and the day of actual flow, then today is really just CD12. Does that make sense?

[TTC5]

9dpo bfn with fmu on an ic.

no symtoms either.. the runs stopped lasted four mornings in a row from 3dpo - 6do. Do have heartburn every night but I don't think that means anything.

Oh my skin is breaking out everywhere though!!!!! Forgot that lol

[love being a mummy]

BFN 10dpo store bought test

[Cinss]

Hobber - yes i do wonder the same about cd1, i will bleed during sex a few days before AF, but just wait for the flow to start counting.

TTC5 and LBAM - hang in there girls, i wish i was POAS rignt now.

[love being a mummy]

Oh good! That's what I would have suggested. Gooooood luck!!!!!

[LolaInLove]

I agree, hang in there TTC5 and LBAM....many don't get a bfp till after 14dpo even. No being pissed until AF shows!

Hi ladies!!!

Guess what? I didn't get a BFP today BUT I got a 12 month contract position for work next year doing what I love most!!!!!! Soooo excited for 2012!!

Also...

Today I was at my neighbours talking and I BURST in to tears, real breakdown style OMG!!!!! I also had a little spotting too 9dpo and I NEVER EVER spot and I only get teary the day before AF comes... Whilst crying I kept thinking OMG I'm pregnant but ugh trying to talk myself out of it as I don't want to get my hopes up at all... 9 dpo is this too late for implantation spotting?

[gizmo77]

Thanks Gizmo. I didn't post my sway yet ..I'm just scared for another m/c :worry: but I will write it soon before I forgot everything.

Congrats on the new job

[TTC5]

Thankyou so much, it made my day (year really!!) :)

[Cinss]

TTC5 congrats on the job! 9 dpo would be perfect time for bean to stick... i recon you will get your BFP tomorrow!

[Plum3]

Hoping to see some more BFPs soon ladies!

I got my results today, hcg was quite low so I am pretty sure it's a chemical :( Have to go back on Monday for another blood test. This feels horrible :( I never imagined how hard it would be to experience a loss. I can't imagine what it feels like further along in a pregnancy.

5- woohoo for the contract, fx a bfp follows soon!!!!

Gizmo- with my third I had no symptoms, no aversions and wasn't even that tired. I kept testing for almost 2 wks because I couldn't believe I felt so good lol Don't worry, doesn't mean a thing :)

Bec - fx all is good and that you never do experience a loss let alone a later one. My loss at 13 wks was, to say the least, devastating.

32 wks, here's the belly. One with the sweater loose the other pulled in for full effect lol
