Ttc shit boat - long term ttcers

[Andreax2]

Well lisey, I have to say you're amazing! I hope that the next three months brings success naturally, but regardless you have such a great outlook that it's brilliant and makes me feel more optimistic about all our chances!
And ladies, whilst the pirate costumes are lovely, I'm more interested in the sailors!

Well said !! Xx

 

[Andreax2]

Like so.....!

Again , well said ! Lol wouldn't kick him out of bed 4 eating biscuits !

 

[stacesl3]

Oooh hello sailor

Well i phoned the doc's for my results and I'm really none the wiser! All the receptionist said she said 'thyroid functioning test' - no further action required, i asked about the other tests, i,e FSH, LH etc and she said it was the same? I dont really know what that means! Anyway i asked for a copy and gonna pop in after work today to pick it up. I assume there is nothing untoward as surely it would have been flagged up??

 

[Andreax2]

Grrrr staces it really pisses me off that u have 2 get results from the receptionist , but it sounds like its came back all clear but at least u get print out and u can go thru them urself x
Well I'm cycle day 1 and I have a new plan SOY ! So u r all going 2 think iv lost the plot but I had a dream ... Lol
A monk of all people came 2 me in a dream and told me I wasn't ov strong enough !
Does any1 think this is a bad idea?? What like 2 hear what people think I'm gunna start on a low dose 80mg cd3-7
Just worried it might mess me up and I'm a scaredy cat when it comes 2 taking things !

I've taken Soy this month although it does feel like I'm grasping at straws a bit lol. I hadn't ovulated since my miscarriage but I have this cycle so I'm really pleased - could have been my body sorting itself out though rather than the soy. I have the Holland & Barrett ones (23mg/tablet) so my dosages were 115mg cd2-4 and then 5-6 were 161mg. Will be upping the dose quite significantly if I'm out this month though!

I'd say start on a low dose, but in my experience it's induced ovulation so so far so good xx

 

[stacesl3]

I know and i just realised they dont open Thurs eve so will have to pop by in the morning now grrrr!!!!

Re Soy - I did read up about this as sounded like it had some good results, however it seems they advise against it if you have fairly 'normal' cycles (i.e under 35 days) and also if you know you ovulate. I decided against it as i was worried it might mess up my cycles. Like you i'm a bit of a scardey cat too lol! Took me ages to decide to go ahead with the low dose asprin but been taking that now for a few months.
Maybe do a bit of research and see what you think.... x

 

[Bethyboo87]

I was really worried about it messing up my cycles and I don't think I would have taken it if I'd not had my miscarriage. My cycles are (WERE) very regular, 28 days and I always ovulated. I feel like now I've had a taste of pregnancy I'll take anything lol xx

 

[Andreax2]

Thanks girls , yeah it's a hard 1 cus I know I already ov but I'm just getting 2 that point il give anything ago ! But will def sit 2night and do some more googling ! Xx

 

[Sugarpop]

If you have normal cycles I would take it to have a healthy and strong egg? Not heard as much about it messing cycles up that I heard about the pregnancy vitamins. I take it to make me ovulate. Starting Cycle 2 when the bad stuff comes for real! I got mine from tesco for like £4

[lisey]

Right I am going multi-quote crazy cos I don't want to miss anyone out of my replies xx

Oh lisey huge hugs hun , what a bloody week u really have it all going on , I'm so sorry it wasn't better news , lis- do u mind me asking how old u r ? Fx it happens in the next 3 months r gunna need 2 leave that tea alone and stand on ur head while his doing it ,Whilst wearing a pirate costume !
Thanks 4 the advice it will b written down and taken with me 2 the hospital
Anyway I have high hopes 4 u this cycle missy ! There's a life boat with ur name on it !

Thanks Andrea, I don't mind at all, I am 31.
It would be amazing if it happened in the next 3 months, I think hand-stand, pirate sex is the way to go xx

Thanks ladies. She is a nice girl so i am happy for her, I just want it to be me

Sorry it wasn't better news lisey, but sounds like you have a good doctor - half the battle having someone on side to help! I had that with the cm a few months ago, was weird, i was walking to work and felt a gush (sorry tmi there lol) thought i'd pee'd myself, but was just cm! I think its a good sign having no symptoms, like you I get tons of symptoms every month, FX for you!!!!

I'm ringing my doctors tomorrow to see if the results of my 3 day bloods are in.

Thanks Stace, he is a great doctor and I feel we are in good hands. he was very calm about it, I am at menopausal stage (that would have devastated me) and he is hopeful it can still happen naturally for us, esp as it has 3 times already. My AMH would have been low for some time now.
The CM is weird, I am putting it down to good progesterone and nothing more.
Good luck with the results, I am glad you're getting a print out as I don't trust the doctors sometimes, best to see for yourself. I am sure they will be great xx

Well lisey, I have to say you're amazing! I hope that the next three months brings success naturally, but regardless you have such a great outlook that it's brilliant and makes me feel more optimistic about all our chances!
And ladies, whilst the pirate costumes are lovely, I'm more interested in the sailors!

Thanks for your lovely message I don't know how I am staying so positive, I used to be so negative and pessimistic about everything. I really think the acupuncture has done something to me, since I have been having it done, I am so much calmer. I hope there's success for all of us real soon xx

Grrrr staces it really pisses me off that u have 2 get results from the receptionist , but it sounds like its came back all clear but at least u get print out and u can go thru them urself x

Sorry you're CD1, stupid witch.
I don't know much about soy, I have not read into it as I can't take it with endometriosis. At this point, if I didn't have endo and my AMH was fine (I don't want to take clomid or soy etc as wouldn't want to produce too many eggs and waste them etc) then I think I would try it. There have been a good few success stories on here. Definitely google more so you can make an informed decision xx

 

[Andreax2]

Thank 4 the adivce girls after spending an 2 hours looking in2 it I'm def going 2 go it, my only worry is pumping out eggs when I might not have that many , So this is my last cycle b4 I turn 35 :/ so I'm going all in this cycle !!!! Just come from tescos aswell and 4got 2 pick some up !

 

[stacesl3]

I do love your multi quotes lisey

Your still a spring chicken in my book Andrea Good luck with the soy, you'll have to keep us updated!

Well i got my results of the day 3 bloods, from their guidelines everything looks okay I guess?? is there anything else they should have tested for? I have another referral for the 21 day bloods, I guess that is just to see if i am ovulating...
Thyroid function (TSH) - 1.59
FSH - 8.3
LH - 4.7

 

[Andreax2]

Lisey? Ur good with the numbers !!

 

[rach29]

Ahoy sailors do u mind if i jump aboard?!! Ive been ttc over a year so hope i qualify lol!
Andrea im going to take soy next cycle to! Im abit nervous about it, but more excited!!! X

 

[rach29]

Ohh and just read a little further back. When i had my bloods done staces i had to phone up for results and all i got off the receptionist was that the results indicate i do ovulate. Wish id of been on pf at the time so i knew to ask for a print out xx

 

[Andreax2]

Welcome aboard rach, looks like there's a few of us doing soy !! X

 

[honeybear]

hey girlies,
the boats still a rockin with some fine crew i see

lisey im sorry the results was not the best of news but! i am so happy for you that the doctor listened and given you a plan to follow and a time frame to stick too i really hope it pulls off for you hun!

how are you other ladies doing this eve?

bit of update from meee wednesday OH handed his swimmers in finally and im a big sack of nerves..pardon the pun. just want the results back i feel sick!
im 14dpo today :/ and AF is officially due an hour from now. So who knows having lots of creamy cm though ughhh.

soy next cycle im thinking!
xxxx

 

[Sugarpop]

I'm also doing Soy again! As soon as my period starts properly (Just having the brown thing at the moment..charting it as spotting but if it's going to come why can't it just start already?!) Hoping we all have our Soy babies....hoping we don't all call them Soy or Soya however! Lol

 

[stacesl3]

Welcome aboard rach29! Same here, when i went for the 21 day bloods last year i went back to my doctor and all she said was i am defo ovulating and just to keep doing what i was doing!! hmmm. But we live and learn, will always ask for printed copies from now on.

Everyone has gone a bit soy crazy??? LOL. We'll have to change the name from shit boat to soya boat. I'm still a bit wary i must admit, I'm worried it may mess up my cycles and i dont like the idea of a hot flush.....I'll be thinking I'm menopausal!!!

Keep me posted though ladies, never know i may change my mind

 

[MelC2011]

Hey Sailors how is everyone?
God knows what's going in with me.
8 dpo and cramping lots and have had some spotting.
Can't be af this early surely. I know I quite often have a 21 day cycle but I'm only 8dpo.
Feel nauseous too.

Feeling sad xx
