Ttc shit boat - long term ttcers

[stacesl3]

Yeah for the CM Dolly

I need to exercise me thinks, i do NOTHING. I wouldn't mind but I live opposite a leisure Centre haha i should be so ashamed of myself.

Sorry clementine, I was hoping this was your month. It's soooooooooo hard being patient, considering I am so impatient, the worst thing for me is not having the control over it sucks this ttc!! I think positive vibes all round are needed.....

 

[dolly26]

Thanks stace lol

I know the feeling about the exercise thing I do nothing except walk round work lol and I have a leisure centre 2 mins walk away from home so I should be going lol.

As sorry to hear that Clementine I was really hoping it was ur month

 

[Dee28]

Cd1 for me today, start my clomid tomorrow and onto round three of iui, wish me luck girls....xx

 

[Clementine]

Hi Staces & Dolly it's a common problem I also live about 3 mins from hotel leisure center with a swimming pool !! I convince myself I don't have the time ..... me thinks I need to make the time!!

 

[lisey]

Thanks clementine

Oh leisure centres are not for me, too public. Other people can't see me sweat! Lol

Good luck dee, hope its 3rd time lucky xx

 

[dolly26]

Good luck Dee

 

[Clementine]

Dolly good luck for today.

Dee FX it's 3rd time lucky, just curious if you ovulate yourself why are they giving you Clomid?

My temperature dropped this morning so think I can expect AF will arrive tomorrow which would be a day early, my cycle is definitely changing, although lower temp today I woke up feeling hot and clammy. Also my last 3 cycles have been my shortest 3 since starting to TTC. Not sure if this is good or bad ?

Not sure of my next plan of attack ..... I wish storks really did deliver babies.

 

[stacesl3]

Morning ladies,

FX for this cycle Dee x
Ah see i dont do the sort of excercise that makes me sweat lol, I detest the gym, everyone is so serious

Well my bloody stork must have got lost then!!!!

Weird day for me, it was on this date last year i had my 3rd (and last) scan when they conf pregnancy wasn't viable such a shit time, trying not to think about it too much, have an event on this evening at work im organising so have a mad busy day...keeps my mind off it anyway!

I do ovulate fine on my own and initially was going to do unmedicated iui but at the last minute changed my mind. As I have a dodgy tube I wanted to boost my chances of ovulating both sides, the first iui I only produced one leading follicle that happened to be on the good side and it worked, this last cycle I responded a lot more to the clomid and had follicles on both sides but it didn't work. They also said clomid can enhance the egg quality so it was worth it I think. We'll see how I respond this time. Are you thinking about it? Xx

Thanks Dee, my gynea consultant said all my bloods, scans looked good, my Day 3 FSH and Oestradiol were very good and my Day 21 Progesterone indicated ovulation - My DH got his sperm checked and it was great other than we also got a DNA fragmentation test done on his sperm which was a bit high which was not good (it's related to eating sugar which he does even though he's slim he's a sugar junky) I have put on 2 stone over the last year - when my thyroid went underactive again I just piled on weight so I need to get my ass in gear again to lose it as maybe this is stopping me getting a BFP.

I thought that Clomid might give me a chance of a better quality egg?? when I rang the private clinic I had a depressing conversation with the guy as he said the chances of a good egg meeting a good sperm at 42 is pretty slim even though my blood results look very good (he didn't mince his words) (he spoke about donor eggs but for me and my hubby this is not an option we'd consider - I think we'd prefer to adopt a baby .... though adopting a baby in Ireland is nearly impossible).

It's tough knowing what to do for the best. If I were you and if you have the money id say give iui a try with clomid if IVF isn't what you want. I didn't think it would work for us given we both have issues but it did so is say where there's a chance...

I'm suffering with AF, urgh. Got my first tracking scan next Wednesday so that's something to focus on. Been a bit if a tough day as one of the ladies at work in a different team popped in to tell us she was expecting her 4th child today, this will be her 2nd pregnancy since I've been ttc and the worse thing is she's only 2 weeks behind what I should be now, so now I have to watch someone else growing a baby as I should have been. Everyone kind of took a breath and waited for my reaction when she told us, the pity was palpable

 

[dolly26]

Hey ladies

Well had my appt this morning and the endo was bad and was round my ovaries but my tubes were clear so the consultant is fairly positive with the surgery that I should get pregnant naturally so he has gave us 4 months and if not then on to fertility treatment.

How everyone today xx

 

[PurpleCloud]

Hi ladies, how is everyone? I'm still in my pit of despair feeling sorry for myself! Lol! I want to be positive but I'm thinking I'm not going to get my BFP anytime soon. I've had a lot of endo symptoms recently and it has been over 5 years since my last surgery. Think I need to admit defeat and go see my consultant. TTC is putting so much pressure on me and my fella.

Someone tell me some good news? Anyone hot any?! xx

 

[dolly26]

Morning ladies

How are we all?

Well I got some good news yesterday I was offered a new job with more hrs which will enable me to do my nursing through work

My luck seems to be turning so here's hoping that my BFP is on route fx

I didn't really think about it yesterday was so busy, didn't get in from work until 11pm last night! So tired today, feel like i need to sleep for a week x

Morning shipmates,

Dolly good news on the job front and glad your consultant is hopeful that you can conceive naturally.

Purplecloud sorry to hear you are having a tough time, I have a positive story regarding a friend with Endo she had the procedure as her Endo was vey bad and she got pregnant with a strong baby bean the first month after she recovered, so stay strong

Staces anniversary dates are tough - I hate them I had my D&C for my MMC with my twins on Aug 15th I couldn't believe a year had passed and that potentially I could have been sitting here with two healthy 5month old babies .... It sucks. I try my best not to think about it.

Hi Dee that was a hard day at work - pity looks really vex me, it's hard when someone is on same timeline as what you would have been, with my 2nd MMC I was so aware that a number of girls who live near me who got pregnant at the same time and went on to have healthy babies. I didn't resent them I'm delighted they had a happy outcome - I just wished I could join them. FX cycle 3 of IUI will bring your sticky baby bean

Hi Hopeful75 hope all is good with you and little baby bean, hope you are managing to relax and put worries to the back of your mind, have you got your first appointment next week ?

My update is The arrived this morning, I'm disappointed but not gutted , I took the sting out of her broomstick by testing at 11dpo & also I knew my morning temperature had dropped. I'm staying positive this month as Hopeful75's good news has given me hope & lifted my spirits.

So to all who sail in this ship.

Positive mental attitude for September

1. Get lots of rest
2. Eat well
3. Exercise
4. Show your OH lots of loving
4. Get down to baby making
5. BD till you drop

And hopefully the will catch an and we'll all get

THIS infuriates me when doctors/medial people say things like this!!!! Do they not think we are more than aware of how slim our chances are, and how we are all to aware of that ticking time bomb over our heads. Honestly why cant they just show a bit of positivity for a change, I dont mean fill us with false hope but come on, same with that bi8ch of a doctor i saw, telling me dont leave it too long....she might have well just issued me with a zimemr frame and a place in a rest home for the elderly!!!! UGH!!
And breathe........... apologies but you can probably tell this sort of thing really gets my goat! Plus im tired and i have a headache
Just wanted to add, in all honesty this actually makes me more determined to get pregnant and have my baby and do a ner ner ner ner ner in front of those doctors... childish i know

 

[Clementine]

Hi Staces, I know it's really annoying, I felt like saying I know I'm 42 if I'd met my husband 20 years ago life would be rosey. I've read all the stats I know the odds I just choose to believe that I'll be one of the lucky ones. My sister has a friend who at 46 got accidentally pregnant with twins, she went private in Northern Ireland and from the very beginning the Obstet. said there her babies would be severely disabled all the blood tests combined with her age give her a high likelihood of disability. One consultant actually recommended she abort them on medical grounds of fetal abnormality. She had no intention of getting rid of them and spent her 9months worried sick she went on to deliver a perfectly healthy boy and girl with zero health problems. Sometimes medical people are detached (cos they have to be) and they don't realise that statistics don't always mean fact!

 

[dolly26]

Thanks Clementine I hope my good luck spreads to moving house and my BFP so fx

for all my lovely shipmates

And it looks like I could be oving in time for mine and ohs dirty night away so plenty of
