great list Sunbeam, I hope Santa hears your prayers and grants your wishes ( mabe not bladder weakness tho)
I know, my tww is half way there and NOTHING is happening- I got the usual vague maybe backache, maybe cramps last night but really it could have been kidney pain or bowel twinges, really not anything to mention.
I'm not doing so well today I have myself convinced that it is never going to happen for me and why do I keep trying. I've decided if I don't get a good AF after this cycle I'm not going to bother trying in Jan because that will be 5 months without a decent bleed and how can anything be expected to implant then? I'll just take the month to try and shift some weight and start again with IUI in Feb. I think I might just do the 3 IUI then call it quits. I'd really still like to go to Vietnam but the idea of leaving my precious cat for any length of time just brings me to tears. Sorry for the down post, maybe its just facing another Christmas without a baby that is getting to me. Really wish I could just get drunk and forget about it all today.
I hope you are all doing better than me and having a nice weekend.
Sunbeam - I have also been a bit down from last weeks BFN. And the end of another year always makes me feel sad How light are your AF's? Mine have always been very light also.
Saffy - Maruschke said she never had ANY pg symptoms before her BFP, so hang in there!
Minnie, joeve, how are you guys?
AFM: Well I joined a gym today. First time EVER. While I don't consider myself overweight, I could definitely use a good tone up. I lost 20 kg about 15 years ago so I still have bingo arms and a bit of a jelly belly I just hope I get my moneys worth and get of my lazy butt!! And no charge till end of Jan AF is still here, booked in to get my dye test done on Tuesday. So do not want to part with $500 so close to xmas
Oh Sunbeam- sorry the usual sun isn't shining for you, its so, so hard to keep going day after day when there's no guarentee. I don't blame you, we all feel this way sometimes, esp in the tww when theres so much pressure I hope you get your christmas miracle ( or at the very least a good af thats gives you hope to keep going, but I want a bfp for you so much you know). I am quite stressed this tww and fantasised when I was out for dinner last night that I snatched a glass of wine out of someone's hand and sculled it.
Tasha- the dye test may be the answer to your prayers, I know its hard to spend money near christmas but if you put it in to medicare quickly you might get more back. Good news about the gym!
afm- I am so anxious about this tww I cannot sleep at night which is making me feel even more stressed. I had a lot of strong cramping yesterday crossing my fingers its a good sign but who knows. Hurry up BT, I am going to buy a bottle of wine or champers to drink if I get a bfn, its cruel to have to not drink before christmas when everyone else is!
Sunbeam - sorry you are having a sucky time of it...Christmas brings it home for many of us x
Saffy - i am crossing everything that you get some nice christmas news!
Tash - yay on getting ready for the dye test! it can make you more fertile I have been told for a few months after and I am hoping that happens for me given it was last month! yay for the gym!
I have just taken my last clomid pill and I start some other pills tomorrow ti help with lining thickness due to clomid...then after O I am back on the aspirin for the clotting factor..so far so good...now I just have to find time to DTD in between all the pill popping
Saffy - I know how much we both want this for each other. I will be almost as happy if you get a BFP as if I got one myself, of course one for each of us would be just perfect. Very excited about the cramping I always think that's an excellent sign I will be drinking champers with you too if its a BFN!
Joeve - Its a wonder we don't rattle with all the pills we're on isn't it! Let hope the combination does the trick.
Tasha - If i get a BFN I'll be working out with you. It'd feel great to shed a few kilos its so hard to do between TTWs. I hope your dye test goes well and your newly flushed tubes bring on a BFP.
Thank you girls for your loving support. I'm feeling better today. I picked myself up yesterday arvo and went off to the movies to see New Years Eve which I really liked and it cheered me up heaps. By the way I had a lovely time with Minnie on friday when we caught up for coffee, we managed to chat non-stop for 2 hours
OMG, just got back from my dye test. It was HORRIBLE! I have not experienced pain like that in a long time
Firstly the antibiotic I had last night gave me diarrhoea at 6am for an hour or so, yuck! My cervix is small so the catheter wouldn't fit, so they had to use this thing that pinches and holds the cervix in place. I had tears in my eyes it hurt so much! Then the catheter they used was faulty, the little balloon at the end wouldn't blow up. So they had to do it ALL OVER AGAIN!
But I have no blockages, so that's a plus. I can't believe I had to pay $500 for someone to inflict such pain on me! So over this infertility crud
tasha-OUCH that sounds horrible, sorry for encouraging you to get it done but I'm glad it was normal.
Sunbeam- how are you going? Any symptoms or poas action?
Hi everyone else, hope all is well and gearing up for christmas xx
afm- haven't poas yet but getting more tempted...is it ridiculous to think I may have had slight nausea waves today?.... I'm thinking I'm imagining it cos its too early (7dp5dt), otherwise nothing but a few mild cramps, haven't even got sore bbs. Going verrry crazy here, I've had 6 days off work which was good for getting organised for xmas but not for obsessing about possible pregnancy symptoms
Tasha ouch but yay for clear tubes
Saffy test!!!!!!! I am bursting I have such good vibes for this cycle for you!
Damn Internet cheapy opks have gone AWOL!! I should be peeing on things but have nothing!! Fingers crossed they come tomorrow although it's getting a bit late for them to be useful now.
saffy: good to hear you got a good embie to implant, sending you sticky vibes, sorry im sure i missed it, when is your blood test ?
tasha: ouch you poor thing, how awful to have to go through, the good news is its done now and all good and you should be super fertile now you have had a good clean through your tubes
sunbeam: hello lovely, im sending you sticking vibes to you too
joeve: i noticed in another thread (are we allowed to talk about things in other threads ?) you are now taking what i presume is estrogen ? did you get your opt's to start testing soon ? i got pregnant on my first go of clomid and had my DD, hope its the same for you
matthewsmum: did you test ?
afm: well as you know while away i got to meet clairesmummy and sunbeam, both lovely ladies :-) im quite sure sunbeam and i could have talked a lot longer than the 2 hours we did lol im so happy we got to meet :-)
as far as ttc is concerned with me im a bit unsure what to do from here, i haven't taken clomid this cycle, mostly because i was away and didn't have my script but i also figured i was seeing my fs on day 3 so i would see what she had to say. she wants me to take this cycle off, thinks the clomid might be upsetting my prolactin levels. im torn between trying naturally (i really don't think i need clomid) and waiting for a few months, i agreed to have a d&c and lap done and that will happen around the end of march so im considering doing nothing until after then because with the timing and cycles i will probably only get one cycle in before surgery and maybe our best chance will be after that is done ?
she also said she doesn't want to give me anymore clomid (after the 3 she just gave me), i asked about moving to injection OI but she wants to do that with IUI not do it yourself at home (lol) so i'll have to decide about that, i asked about ivf again and she was keen this time, she was against it last time saying it wouldn't help because getting pregnant isn't our problem so i really don't know what to think about it all, i wish there was an easy answer !
Saffy - 7dp5dt is like 12dpo and totally late enough to be getting symptoms and POAS, so pee already!! Please . Unlike you I have the sore BBs but no cramping, I can feel the POAS addiction starting.
Tasha - I'm so sorry you had such a rough time of it with your dye test but at least it showed all clear, nice clean tubes now ready for the
Joeve - I hope the OPKs turn up quickly but either way good luck with the egg chasing
Minnie - Anymore info on the chaste tree?
AFM- 9dpo today and sore BBs but nothing else might have to start POAS tomorrow as I have 4 and don't want to do one on Christmas day, if its neg on 24th then I'm off to the bottle shop, too depressing to test on Christmas day only to see a BFN.
Mini - yes I am on oestrodial or whatever its called hormones thingies...so medical here LOL
Saffy - have you pee'd yet? LOL no pressure or anything
Sunbeam- sore bb's good can't wait for you to wee catch tomorrow I will be waiting!
I have some pains around the ovaries both sides tonight...hmmmm hope the clomid is brewing me up something.
Saffy, I'm still glad I got it done so don't feel bad for recommending it! Besides my FS said I have to have it done anyway. Sometimes i like to poas just to stop my crazyness!! You must be going mad, Good luck
Joeve, stupid post man! Do you have obvious ov signs on clomid? I had massive pains. Well you'll just have to have a BD marathon I guess
Minnie, I wondered where you went! I agree, may as well give your body a rest before the lap. It's always good to have a next step to look forward to and keep you motivated.
Sunbeam, at least you have Christmas celebrations to divert your mind. But i really do hope it's a sticky bfp for you.
AFM: I feel good today, trying to forget the horrible dye test yesterday! This has really put me off any more procedures, including IUI. I never used to be scared at all, i would always come in and drop my pants but now I'm not so sure. Busy week ahead, looking forward to Christmas (though a bfp would have been nice!)
BFN this morning (6.30am) but my pee was weak as a bad dream had woken me at midnight and I did not get back to sleep till 3.30am. Tasha, I'm with you feels good to be doing something other than just waiting even if it is a BFN.
I'll do it after work tomorrow, I had to get up early and drive Dh to the train station this morning so didn't have time and tomorrow I have to get up at 6am to start work at 7 so won't have time again to sit and watch for a line to appear for hours lol.
Sunbeam i have ben getting really bad dreams too, I think its the progesterone although other people i know have said thay get that when they are pregnant!!
Poo to a bfn, hope its still waiting for you-we need our christmas miracles!
I have no symptoms at all today, scared its not happening so will have to wait. Although poas is calling me.....luckily i have to go into work early this afternoon because i wouldn't last at home here by myself, I have two tests in the toilet.....I just wish I felt confident to test....I dont at all....
I have also been a bit down from last weeks BFN. And the end of another year always makes me feel sad 
How light are your AF's? Mine have always been very light also.
I just hope I get my moneys worth and get of my lazy butt!! And no charge till end of Jan 
I will be drinking champers with you too if its a BFN!
but I'm glad it was normal.
I'll be stalking.
