Saffy - I'm glad AF showed, sorry she is a bit weird, maybe my odd ones rubbed off on her but that's okay they will be our last for a long time Yes I am going to ignore the whole I'll be 43 bit given she did not even pick up that I'm gay and started to tell me about this lovely guy I'm gonna meet!!! I hope the injecting is not too awful I still have a photo of my belly from one of my antag. cycles I looked like I'd been beaten up. Bring on the best ever folllies.
Joeve - I hope you are feeling much better with your poorly kidneys
Mich - How's DH's back doing? Is he feeling like a star from all our comments? Can he manage his congrats kisses now? You are right about this beening when we'd least expect it!
Tasha - Any news on your eggie?
Minnie - Yay for great lining and great follie go catch that eggie I can't believe I've seen your ovary, too funny
AFM - Temp rise this morning so started the prog. 4 of us starting the TWW together is that a record?
Happy Australia Day all! It's so hot over here I'm not leaving the air con all day - except to jump in the pool!
Saffy - Yay for AF even if it's a strange one. It's finally all happening
Minnie - so did you dtd last night? (wow - I feel like a freak asking that ) Did you decide to join us gluttons for punishment in the 2ww or sit it out this time??
Sunbeam - He he he, maybe a new psychic needed? That's great that you're def in the 2ww, was the IUI timing ok?
Tasha - I've been thinking of you, it's not fair you're still waiting. Any chance of making it 5 of us in the 2ww?
Joeve - I hope you're feeling better today and getting lots of rest. I think a list would be great, I'm always wondering what day everyone's on. Today I'm CD 15, 2 dpo, IUI was 24/1, bt on 5/2. Use whatever you like of that. Thank you!
AFM - My poor partner is a bit better but still sore and still drugged. He's having a few days off work. I told him about all your praise and now he's feeling pretty pleased with himself It shows me just how much he wants this, sob! I really hope the IUI was well timed because we obviously haven't been able to dtd to back it up, ha ha
mich: yep we decided to join in the madness and gave it a go last night (don't be embarrassed by the question, no one bats an eyelid at that sort of talk in here lol) , opt is positive today so should ovulate tomorrow
joeve: im happy to be added to the list, as of today im day 12 waiting to ovulate but that will probably need to be changed tomorrow so you can leave it til then if you want and just put me straight into the 2ww
how great we have a few going through the 2ww together, im still shocked that one of them will be me, i stopped all my medication because we were planning on waiting haha
Minnie - I had two 32 day cycles when I stopped clomid. Wow was I excited! You went with your gut instinct, Good luck
Saffy - About the stringy AF, I have had the same sometimes
Mich - LOL to your day of IUI! Sounds like something that would happen to me. FX for you
Sunbeam - 2ww too? Hope it isn't too painful, good luck!
Joeve - 2ww also, FX for you ladies. The list is a good idea, I am CD45, waiting to O But hopefully it will change soon!
AFM: Still no O. This is the longest I have gone since my M/C. I though it would all run smooth from the dye test. Heck, even if I do O what's the point on a 60 day cycle!? We have our counselling appointment on Tuesday as part of the IUI process. Police checks should come back in the next couple of weeks and then I make an appointment to see the nurses and discuss our treatment. DH still can't believe it has come to this, he kinda doesn't want anything to do with it and doesn't like to talk about it much. He cant understand why we cant fall pregnant naturally. I think it's very confusing for him.
tasha-stupid ovaries! how annoying. As for Dh, don't worry he will come around. I think a lot of women feel like they do it by themselves, do all the arranging etc, its just the way men deal with it i suppose. My Dh doesn't get overly involved but my mum and sisters do (too much sometimes) so it doesn't really bother me. Maybe he'll open up at the counselling?
Joeve- you can add me to the list I'm CD3 starting stimming today x
good luck twwers!! Someone has to win the jackpot!
tasha: does you hubby know that the stats on fertility problems is something like 1:6 have issues, maybe if he realises how common it is he might feel better about it ? your silly ovaries, i imagine it will be a relief to get to iui where they will be forced to act as they should. if it makes you feel any better the cycle i got pregnant with my son i ovulated on day 30, i know its not as far as you are but it doesn't need to be a "normal" day ovulation for it to work
saffy: good luck with starting your injections
joeve: i ovulated last night so can you put me in the 2ww please
Morning all. I will add everyone tonight when on lappy
Minnie yay!
Tasha your DH sounds a bit like mine they don't really get it.
Saffy woohoo for stimming!
Yay Minnie - glad you're on board It's great we're all so close in the 2ww, someone has to get good news!
Saffy - I hope the stimming doesn't knock you around too much.
Tasha - Sorry you're still waiting and about DH Until about 6 months ago my partner would get really annoyed if I even mentioned the fertility treatment we were doing (was still in denial). But it changed a lot after he actually came to a FS appointment, had his blood and sperm tests and then had to go to the clinic every cycle as part of the IUI. It got him involved and kind of forced him into my world. Although he still has no interest in all the little details (that's what BB's for ), he will now even bring up the fertility topic on his own! So hopefully your DH will come around soon.
Joeve - the list is looking great so far - love the pictures!!
mich -thats so true about BB being for us to discuss every minute detail ad nauseum so our DH's dont' have to hear it- they don't know how lucky they are lol!!
Joeve - Happy to be added to the list. I O'ed on the 24th, cd28 , but it was very late that evening so I'm going to say I'm only 2dpo today (since technically it wouldn't be 3dpo till like 9pm tonight, does that make any sense?) testing from the 5th (if I can hold out).
Tasha - I hope your egg gets here soon but do not despair I remember one lady on fertility friend O'ed on cd65 and had a baby girl!! I think guys take it more personally when there are fertility issues like it reflects on their manhood or something, they are also way better at denial than us I have found!
Mich - Yes I definitely need a new psychic! I am in the TWW now but we are only on home inseminations still this month moving to IUI next cycle, timing was spot on though, thank goodness for OPKs.
Minnie - Glad you decided to go for it and join us in the TWW now we can all go insane together
Saffy - Yay for starting injections, hope its not too sore.
AFM - Still getting pinchy O pains which is very confusing and also the occasional ache at the top of my uterus, it's all very odd this cycle.
Yay BB is up and running again. I hope everyone is having a nice weekend.
I just wrote my mum a 5 page letter explaining why using a surrogate will not improve my chances when my eggs are 40 years old, after yet ANOTHER conversation about it on the phone last night . Please let her get it this time, I'm so bored of the same conversation .
sunbeam- she should ring my mum and chat to her, mum has it all worked out for me- next stage when i give up ivf is using donor eggs from my sister apparently!!
Its annoying but at least they care x
I feel so *****. Dh and I just had a massive argument over money, again I'm so over it. I'm sitting here crying because I'm so stressed out that this IUI isn't going to work, or it will and then I'll miscarry again. And we cant afford to be doing cycle after cycle of it. And if it doesn't work, IVF is totally off the cards. I'm sick of seeing everyone else playing happy families in their own homes while I sit here broke, childless and renting.
Oh Tasha I am sorry the money is hard. I hope he is just having a bad day. The boys definitely have a hard time to I think as they are sometimes a bit helpless in the process. Hope tomorrow is better for you x
tasha: it is so unfair that it comes so easy to some and not to others and having the pressure on for it to work is hard to deal with. i started progesterone with my last pregnancy and i really thought that would make the difference but it didn't, its so a difficult journey
joeve: thanks for doing the list :-)
sunbeam and saffy: to you must be frustrating to hear your families opinions all the time
