Ah Alexis that's such a shame. You need to find some peace with yourself to relax.....easier said than done I know.

I don't know where I would be without my horse escape to take my kind off things.

Feeling yuck this morning...looks like today will be my heavy AF day. Bit crampy and just yuck. Plus it is so humid here today. Little bit of rain just started so hoping that clears the air x

 

[Peony1]

Ugh nothing worse than having af on a hot and humid day! Just have a fan following you round everywhere you go
As much as I hate ‘making an effort’ at the moment, I am actually gonna make an effort to have a fun/relaxed weekend! If it means I have to stick a calming video on to listen to every hour then so be it! I’m bored of being fed up now!
Hope everyone starts to feel better soon x

Have you both been checked? his little swimmers etc and an ultrasound for you?
Sometimes it does just take longer, but at least you know you can get pregnant.
I wish you all the luck in this ttc world

Welcome Neesahjade I wish we had some advice to conceive! We are pretty much all here because we feel or have felt like we are banging our head against a brick wall. We can offer lots of moral support however and several sets of ears when you need a rant or someone to talk to.

I echo what has been said that although it may not reassure you it is a very positive thing that you have been able to fall pregnant...albeit not carry to term. That means that things do work as they should. Sadly the odds every month are incredibly low....only 25% each month so we just have to continue with try and try again

Good luck and baby dust to you x

If conceive plus works, I think we would all be chucking it down our neck within an instance! I think with everything conceiveing orientated, certain things ‘help’ but in my personal opinion, it’s doubt to the natural fate of our bodies.

Agreed - it aids, of course, but at the end of the day it all depends om whether it's your turn or not for the BFP

Good luck

Hope everyone has had a good weekend. I have had a rare one off work and a nice horsey day yesterday followed by evening catch up with a girlie friend. Then lovely day with hubby today just out for a walk and Sunday Dinner and general chill day.

So after AF arrived on Wed I got straight onto the phone to the hospital. I am booked for HSG this Wed. Luckily have got a 9.30am appointment and I was already scheduled on lates hurrah! So no awkward excuses needed for my boss. Just gonna tell him I'm at dentist or something and may run a little late. Hopefully I don't feel too scrappy afterwards cos I will have to work until 8pm. Worst comes to worst I can always come home sick if I really struggle.

My silver lining is that hopefully HSG might clear some cobwebs and hubby and I are off work together for a week next week so will fall on my ovulating week as such. So we will be able to have a really good crack at it without worrying about work and shifts etc. If ever the stars were going to align this would be our chance. Lol. But will be nice to relax and enjoy it rather than dashing about around work.

Wishing everyone baby dust. It has to be someone's turn on this thread to get a BFP surely?! Xx

Sorry if I seem completely dim but what is hsg? Is it a blood test?

It really does seem that the stars have aligned for you this month! Best tell hubby to pack some energy drinks !!

Ok this end, just waiting for and to show up at some point in the next few weeks, I think I’m in for a long wait this cycle

HSG stands for Hysterosalpingography which is an x-ray of the uterus and tubes etc. They insert a special dye through the cervix to run through the tubes and check for any blockages and take x ray pics that show up the dye so can see if everything appears normal.

There is a small amount of research that indicates your chances of conceiving can increase for the couple of months following HSG because although it is not a treatment it is believed the dye can sometimes flush through possibly little minor snags and help things move around a bit better.

Not pinning any hopes at all but we will have a fair crack at it this month as for once everything has lined up nicely with timings x

I honestly feel like just giving up....


but I won't ...I dare not.


I've found that the more cynical and negative I acted and became, the more depressed and hopeless I felt. I'd rather be sad a day or two and move on, then to feel low and morbid cycle in and cycle out. It's been helping with this cycle, emotionally, to just allow myself to forget that it's been well over a year and that we have 'problems'. Loads of people have problems and they conceive, it just takes a little longer, that's all.

So, off to the weekend with my pregnant friend and her 2 yr old daughter. And I will admit, after the realization that we're out this cycle, it felt like a kick in the gut to know I'll be talking babies the whole weekend long, again. Nevertheless....a few deep breathes later I know that it will one day be my turn.

I just know it...

Hey this af has all been light and brown coloured dischargey blood only...what does that mean? I am just worried thats a bad sign ? Could it be a sign of perimenopause or something? Never had this ...ever. it's just never turned red. I thought it was going to on Saturday as got some cramping and brown stuff was a bit heavier son to speak but it went a bit dark almost black for like half a day then back to brown again. Still having the brown but so light barley need to wear a pad and its say 6 of the brown

How strange Alexis can you phone docs for advice maybe? Xx

 

[Nikkibiscuit]

Can't see me getting much sleep tonight ladies. Feeling worried about HSG tomorrow. Not the test itself cos altho I'm sure it will be unpleasant having had a coil fitted and a lletz treatment I cant imagine it being much worse than those.

No idea if get results tomorrow but hope I do otherwise it means waiting until follow up appt at start of October.

Gotta go alone too as hubby has to work. Told him I don't mind....which I don't....but deep down wish I had his hand to hold.

So much respect for you ladies further along the prodding and poking line....Not sure how I will cope if that is what fate has laid out for us x

Hey hunni I worried about it too and it was fine. I did habe some cramping and bleeding after it for 24 hrs or so. Please don't worry about it its honestly fine. I expected them to tell me something was wrong but mine was all normal. I even got to see that I was just about to ovukate on the scan

Will be thinking of you x

A THERMAL HIGH-5

I know, it sounds completely crazy but last night when I was in the shower I just spoke to my body (crazy, or is it?) and told her how much I love and appreciate her and that I'm grateful that she's ovulating and I'm not mad for her inviting the for a sleepover ...and she responded....

...with this....

AF is still coming, had normal spotting Yesterday, but I thought it was pretty cool of her

 

[Nikkibiscuit]

Thanks everyone. Just out from HSG now. Everything normal...tubes clear so that is positive.

Not gonna lie was f**king painful. I actually swore....poor nurse lol nearly broke her hand. Was uncomfortable right up to the dye bit then was very painful. So glad it only lasted a few minutes....Not sure it bodes well for my pain threshold for Labour! Lol.

So I guess it's just back on with DTD next week. Will have this cycle and next cycle before my follow up appt. So good ol beat the doctor game x
