Hi guys!
Keli- how did the scan go?
Liz- sorry you're having trouble with the inlaws. We very rarely tell anyone what's going on with our journey. But I must admit once we'd told our immediate family, they actually ask less about TTC #2 than before. Maybe it would work for you?
Porsche- How's the clomid going?
Hi everyone else!
AFM: Still nothing. Not pregnant, just no AF. I will have to take Primulot N to induce AF again, which I hate doing cause it's really painful. I'm defs going back to clomid this month, the injections just weren't work the bother. Maybe when I have a FS who actually gives a hoot and is willing to monitor properly, I'll give it another go. Hopefully I'll be UTD before I go to my new specialist and it won't matter. To be honest I've almost lost all hope fo having another baby. I can't even imagine being UTD anymore. I have been most blissfully blessed with my beautiful DS, maybe that's all for us. I'll give it till August and then takea break I think. Sorry for the gloomy cloud!
Spreading Babydust to all, I'd love to see a BFP in here soon!
Bec
Hello, glad to see most people have found the new thread, so hello to Kris, Porsche, Ahurani, Liz & Bec..
Bec, I can't imagine the frustration you are feeling with that FS of your (the current one). I feel all hope is lost atm, but am off to find out the results of my lap tomorrow and I am hoping that this will give me some renewed faith/hope. DH has taken the day off work to come which I was a little surprised at. He only usually comes once we are pg.... glad he is coming, then he can see all the q's and crap I ask when I go by myself
Has anyone heard from Keli? I wonder how her scan went. I hope no news is good news.
Bec - All we ever do is wait. It's even more frustrating when you know your not UTD but you still have to wait out until AF turns up. HURRY UP ALREADY! When do you see your new FS? Hopefully you'll be UTD by then and you won't need to go. We will get pregnant and we will do it before Christmas time this year. I know we will. We just have to be patient a little longer. we deserve it more than anyone.
Rhichichi where are you up to?
My clomid cycle is a bust. I thought I would have O'd by now but apparently not. I'm hoping I'm going to O late and we haven't missed the boat other wise I have no freaking clue as to what's going on. I have my nurse coordinator appointment Friday 18th and then Tuesday 22nd we have our appointment with Dr De Ambrosis to get our schedule for IVF. So this cycle will be the longest ever lol.
Sorry I have been MIA for a while. I feel like such a slacka.
Bec: So sorry to hear that you are having a hard time at the moment. That silly AF, where is she!!! I hope you have some good news soon, no matter what it is, just something to put a smile on your face and that gives you more hope. It would be great if that good news ends up being a BFP. All the best, thinking of you.
Rhi: GL with your appointment today. I hope the lap gives you the answers you need to hear. That's great that DH is going with you. Having someone there who knows you for support is always a good thing.
Sorry that no persies to anyone else. I really have to try and get up to date on where everyone is at.
AFM: Not much to tell. I ring for my 21day progesterone test results tomorrow and than it is a waiting game to see if AF arrives on Monday. I'm feeling a little more positive this round than I had for previous rounds. It's just a waiting game now. I am feeling very uncomfortable at the moment though, I have horrible thrush (sorry TMI). I felt like an idiot going to the chemist yesterday to ask for something for it and saying "I don't know if I am but I could be pregnant so I need something that is safe to use". The lady just kind of looks at you as if to say "what are you on". lol, luckily enough for me, the first lady I spoke to went and got another lady and she was very lovely about it all.
All the best to you all. I hope everyone is well. Baby dust to all.
Firstly, I’m sorry for freaking any of you out, didn’t mean to be MIA, have just been busy. Yes so we had our scan on Friday and everything was perfect. Bubs is growing very nicely, it’s also an active little one was moving around heaps. I can’t wait for you all to experience the same thing, whether it is your first time or your third, it is just so special, please don’t give up, you all deserve to be wonderful mums and I KNOW Porsche is right, by Chrissy this year you will all be UTD.
Liz, totally know what you mean about people harassing you to get pg. We were married for 3 years before we finally conceived so after 18 months of people asking “when are you having kids” I finally cracked and told everyone that we’d already been trying for 18months and sometimes things are just a little more complicated. Whilst that did help me in some ways (people were more sympathetic/empathetic to our situation) I sometimes wished I never told anyone cos as you all know everyone has an opinion as to why you can’t conceive. “Just relax”, “it’ll happen when you’re not trying”, “my friend had what you have and she has 3 kids now” (to which my response was often “really??? what is that I have”…they never new. Sorry about the rant but my point is that I know what you mean about not wanting to tell people Liz, it’s just all so complicated. Thinking of you!
Oh Bec, “ARRRRRR DAMN YOU AF” (lol I am yelling at her for you)! Why won’t she come? Good on you for trying something different this month it’s just a pain that AF won’t arrive, back to good old faithful Clomid, at least you know that works and hopefully with Met you will get a stick BFP. GL with the Primulot, hope it’s not too painful for you. And fx’ed to being UTD before seeing a new FS, damn your FS too for not being interested.
Jules, GL finding out your results, what a sweetheart your DH is for coming with you, good on him. Looking forward to hearing their feedback, KUP!
Porsche, yey for the positive pep talk, you are completely right. LTTTC’ers deserve to be preggas more than anyone. I know I am pg but this comment I heard last week still rubbed me the wrong way and I know you ladies will understand. I girl at my work is 18 weeks pregnant, she’s the one that fell pg on her wedding night (the first time her and partner had unprotected sex). Anyway we were having lunch last week and she said to me “I know it took you a long time to conceive and so you see this baby as a miracle, but I don’t. It didn’t take me long to get pg and I hate being pg, I don’t think it’s a miracle at all”. OMG I could have strangled her on the spot, and if she wasn’t pg I might have lol! Unfortunately it is just taken for grated by so many people, they see having a baby as their right, I think it’s a privilege.
Sorry for the massive rant today ladies, that’s not what I came on here for, think I just have a lot of built up anger, lol!
Hope, GL with your progesterone levels, KUP! And yey for feeling positive, that’s awesome! Oh poor you with the Thrush, I hate that stuff, what a B**ch for making you feel silly for what you said. The amount of times I have said that to Dr’s and Chemists, did she not know anything about a woman’s cycle, that there is a period where we don’t know (there I go again, sorry).
Once again sorry for the rant today, it was not my intension. I hope you all get a little laugh out of my anger though.
Fx’ed for everyone these coming months, I want to see lots and lots and lots of BFP’s, it has been WAY to long.
Yay keli I've been waiting for you lol. I'm so glad all is well I knew it would be all fine. I'm so happy that bub is moving around and all is spot on.
Keli - About time woman - you were starting to stress us out! lol! So happy everything is travelling along nicely
Porsche - I hope you are wrong about this cycle - what CD are you on? FX you can still catch that egg
Hope - Hello. GL for this cycle but sorry to hear about the thrush :S
Bec - Who is your current FX & who are you changing to?
AFM - Well Lap was all clear. Bit bummed about it but at the same time sort of knew it would be - I was hoping for something, anything! I should be grateful really. So off to IVF with my appt not until 12th July.
I ended up seeing the psychic today too & she says it is all emotional the reason I can't fall pg. Am going to consider going back to her for reiki but will wait a few weeks for things to settle down here (money & then back to work).She did say I will fall pg (no timeframe given) and that it will be an earth angel (my biggest fear is falling pg & m/c again) so that has given me some peace & hope (not alot though!)
Oh that is good news about your lap, remember that sometimes all you need is a little clear out too (sounds horrible sorry). Are you still going to try Clomid this round before going to IVF? May as well. Porsche fell pg the month after her lap. Hey so you're not working at the moment are you? When do you go back? Maybe going back to work and giving yourself other things to concentrate on will help???? Just a thought. GL with the IVF app anywho's. Where are you off to for that? KUP hun!
Hey Keli, Congrats on the scan. I'm so happy for you that everything is AOK. That is great news. I hope you and porsche are right and we are all UTD by chrissy. I was kinda hoping that I would have got UTD early in the year so I could have a bubby this year (2010), but thats just cause of my weirdness. I have a thing with numbers and I am an even numbers girl so 2010 is an even number but 2011 isnt. I know I know, ridiculous. DH is always picking on me because of it. The tv sound and radio sound has to be on an even number, it drives me nuts if its not, lol. I don't have a COD (that I know of), it's just like I said, I'm a numbers girl. In the end, I really dont care what year I have a bubby, I just want a bubby and sooner is better than later.
Rhi: Bummer that your lap was all good, IYKWIM. I bet you are eager for the 12th of July to get here. At least now you know what stage you are up to in your TTC journey. Not that it makes things any easier. Best of luck with it all. If you decide to go and do the reiki, can you please let us know what you think of it.
Hope!! Thats so funny your a numbers girl!! I am aswell! But its a mild case of OCD for me!
Except mine is weird, i like the nubmers 3, 5, 7, 10 & 13 ... but i don't like 11 lol i only like 9 cos its when my birthday is! hehehehe! Oh and DH and I got married on the 13/03/2010 LOL it was the perfect number for me!!
I also can't stand it when someone has one foot up and one foot down when sitting on the couch, or if they are standing and have one foot on the mat and the other on tiles! My hubby finds great enjoyment in walking around in one sock cos i have a hissy fit ... hmmm that soudns really weird when i write that down!! Better stop there :P
Keli i hope you are porsche are right about being pregnant by the end of the year! (Thats my aim)!!
Oh and CONGRATS on your sticky bub!!
