Lynn- sorry the results were not as good as you hoped. I hope you are doing okay.
The seminar sounded very informative (will discuss more on an email) and so wonderful to hear the money was raised at the ball. Maybe the bb ladies, should start campaigning to get the government funding so dearly needed for this research.
Mel – will see you there tomorrow night, DP is coming too. I will keep an eye out for you, I have an idea of what you look like from Nicholas's page, a beautiful boy might I say.
Lynn - I am sorry to hear about your BT results. Fingers crossed that they improve by tomorrows test. I was thinking about going to the Symposium on saturday, but I chickened out, same as with the ball, I think maybe because it was Asha's aniversary, I was feeling abit sooky. I wasn't sure if I could cope, but I do wish now that I went to the ball. It is fantastic that you had so many friends and family turn up though.
Tommysmum - I hope DD is doing better. It must be hard when you are having MS too. I watched that on BB too. It looked like they were not going to ask her about it at all for a while, I was sitting here fuming. Then they did and I just felt so sad for her. I am sure all the womens mags will be making a mad dash for her now.
Klee - Thanks for thinking of us on the weekend, it really helps to know that everyone is here for support.
Flowerchild - Do you ever stop? I have no idea how you find the time to visit us here, you always sound so busy you should be having a rest!
Hope everyone is well
I have an OPK question for the serial testers, I have been doing OPK's for 5 days and today the test line took almost 5 minutes to appear and it was pretty dark, but not as dark as the control. I can;t find the instructions, but I think I remember them saying that the line needs to be as dark or darker than the control. Is thet right?? They are the Ovunow ones from the Fertility Natropath site. I just can't remember. I have no idea where I am at this month, as my cycles are haywire, so I am just trying to do lot's of BD'ing and crossing my fingers.
Thank Deb. Don't apologise for all the questions. I know you are only asking because you want to help............and I truely appreciate you for that
Today is CD20. The bt on Saturday was CD18 and my est was 298 compared to 205 on CD15. I am going back tomorrow but only for a bt. They want my levels to increase before they do another u/s. I had an u/s on CD15 and there was a follie there that was 11mm and then a few under 10. I am currently on 75 dose which I increased on CD15. I thought my levels would have gone up with the increase in dose. Maybe tomorrow they will They don't want to increase the dose too much incase they over-stimulate and then they will cancel the cycle. I don't know what I will do tomorrow when I get the results because everytime they ring me and the levels haven't gone up, I lose a little bit more faith and trust. I am just find it hard to stay positive at the moment when all I get is bad news
Klee - thank you :hugs:
Bailey - yes the line needs to be as dark or darker. Fingers crossed you get a really dark one soon. Just keep up the bedding!!! I understand that Saturday would have been a hard day for you. It would have been great to have you there on Saturday, but there is always next year.
Lynn, There is nothing that I can say to take away the sadness, frustration, confusion and anger you must be feeling about your results. All I can say is I'm sorry. I wish so badly that tomorrow brings some good news.
You sound like you had an emotionally charged night on Saturday. I like Bailey chickened out so I really admire that you had the strength to go. The statistics in your post sent a shiver down my spine. Seeing that there is that many stillbirths compared to other deaths is shocking!!!. I know that you want to do as much as you can to help other people at the moment, but as a friend I also want to make sure that you are not investing too much into this just yet, and are taking care of number 1... You. You have such a caring and giving nature that I know you just want to help so much, but as I said you are the #1 honey, so just remember that you come first.
Bailey: Yep, as Lynn said, the test line has to be as dark or darker than the control line. The good news is though, that with my tests, I found that they just seemed to get darker over the days so if you have a line which is almost as dark as the control line, then I think you should get a +ive over the next few days. Keep DTD and you are sure to catch that eggie.
Flowerchild: Sorry to hear that you are feeling icky but symptoms are such a great thing. I hope you had a nice cool rainy day, just what you need by the sounds of it but make sure you get some rest girl, the ironing can wait.
Klee: Thanks for thinking of Harry and I over the weekend. It is true what you say about this path shows us different sides of people, some bad and some good. As soon as people find out some tend to open up to you like the tiler. Our angels are with us forever, what a lovely thought.
Well I'm off to pay my dogs some attention because they are getting very cranky at my lack of play-time. They keep bringing toys to me to try to pry me away for the computer.
you should be having a rest!
and crossing my fingers.
They don't want to increase the dose too much incase they over-stimulate and then they will cancel the cycle.
