Trying for a baby (12+ M/not straightforward)

gymfiend

Congratulations Jha xx

Hope everyone is ok? I've been avoiding for a few days as was almost convinced we'd cracked it this month...af arrived last night so we haven't I almost had a total breakdown when she arrived but have pulled myself together now, onwards and upwards. On the plus side, I was one day shorter this cycle so now exactly 28 days with a 12 day luteal phase. Hoping it'll even out now and stay at this length.


Becs thanks for the encouragement I was really pleased with blood results, now just hoping and praying that it means things should be more straightforward...have a consultant appointment next wk so hoping for some answers on what he thinks I should have taken as the first 'real' month In my own mind I'm taking last month and month one, so after this af has gone, we'll be on to month 3, much easier to take mentally I think!

Toniq hope you're not driving yourself too mad

I am soooooo tired!!!!! This is going on for about 2 weeks and not getting any better. As soon as I get up in the morning, I am ready to go back to bed. Now, I am at work, I can't concentrate, can't really work, can barely sit on my chair without collapsing. Before I got a text from OH and I started crying for no reason and couldn't stop (a bit embarrassing in the office, good thing no one was around). AF is just about to leave, so hope it is because of her that I feel so down. Have some friends visiting this weekend, so have to get energy from somewhere!!!!!!!

Is there a pre-conception depression? I might be having that!!!!!

Hi everyone, hope you are all well?

Not been posting or checking in for a while, both me and hubby have been under the weather, him with tonsillitis and me with laryngitis, only just starting to feel a bit better however not much BD been happening as a result (we have been sleeping in seperate beds for a week because of being unable to breath and being so restless) and AF is due on tomorrow.

Been of work sick a couple of days so will probably get an earful when I go back in.


ginvzt: you should get the tiredness checked out, just to rule out things like anaemia *hugs*

Whilst searching for something else I came across this.... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/health/article5769066.ece

I was particularly interested in this paragraph.....

***So far, one NHS regional health authority has agreed to implement the NICE guidelines across all 14 of its trusts. The decision by NHS East of England means that infertile couples in Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire will be entitled to three cycles of treatment from April, provided that they meet eligibility criteria.***

We live in Cambridgeshire so it sounds good news. Trying not to get too excited though because I have no idea what the new 'eligibility criteria' will be.

Edited to add ~ I think i'll give my GP surgery a call and see if I can find out what the new criteria will be....see if its worth getting excited about

Hey Shelly,
I just posted a reply to your article on the TTC thread! I forgot to say the bit that made me really happy was we are in Cambridgeshire too!

Hi Gymfriend,

I can't tell you how much better I feel for saying in my mind that last month was month 1 for us! My cycle has changed again this month with ov on cd13 this month but my luteal phase has always been consistent at 12 days. SO on the plus side we won't have to wait as long to get to next month if we haven't suceeded this month. We've really thrown everything into it this month and have tried the SMEP plan as want to take advantage of the normal cycle incase it doesn't last! I've got DH on a multivitamin inc Zinc, banished the alchohol from him and even managed to get him to eat Mackeral last week! :rotfl:I have been confused as well this month as to whether I should use pre-seed or not, I bought it a couple of months ago because I had absoloutely no CM, this month however has been the total opposite so not used it. I have been concerned though as haven't detected any EWCM only really wet! Oh well in the 2ww now so only another 12 days to wait!
Good luck to everyone and lots of babydust this month.

Yep saw it! I thought I'd post it on both threads as I do drop in there from time to time and I was having a convo with Nunny about BMI's.

Where are you roughly in Cambs? I'm near Peterborough.

Snap Shelly! About 7 miles east of Peterborough! What a small world! Perhaps we'll both get our BFP's together soon and go through it all together. How nice would that be. I've read so many of your posts and you are a real inspiration!
