The Trials and Tribulations of Trying to Conceive when its just not happening (12m+)

Maddie

I'm here lilo

Haveen't got much exciting news. Been off work this week but have ended up spending most of my time working anyway oh well I won't charge it to holiday which means I'll have more days left for before christmas. When I've not been working I've been trying to get the house clean and tidy - but everything takes so long! Going to the virgin gym tomorrow with a free day pass with a mate, going to do the body balance class which could be interesting given my lack of balance!

Then on Friday I've got a scan at the hospital in preparation for my lap and dye, then up to Leeds for a friends leaving do. Then on saturday think I'm going to do some more volunteering at a nearby community farm.

How are you?

Well, I am here, checking daily... Just nothing to say really, I have ttc out of my head this month, and I think it is healthy for my mind. We have a couple of friends coming this weekend, so I am busy planning the menu. I also need to clean the house, fishtanks, iron a pile of stuff, make the cake, etc...

I also try and go to the gym, and yesterday I had a program done for me (although I have been going to the gym for the best part of last two years, I never asked for a program...). It is going to be tough - 20min cross-trainer, 20 min running (goal to do 3km in 20 min), 10 min bike, and 10 min on 'ski-ing machine (I think it is called wave, but I call it ski-ing machine...). I tried to do it last night, and had to give a miss to 'ski-ing machine', as was knackered. Probably having a cold coming up doesn't help!

I have been here but nothing much to say till now.

My OH got made redundant yesterday. The company has gone into liquidation and he was told Tues that the administrators where in and by Wed he was made redundant and today is his last day. There is no monies to pay the redundancies so he has to claim of the government which won't be near enough what he is due. Great timing!! He is pretty employable so hopefully he will be able to find something quick but there aren't many jobs out there.

I have my baseline scan on Monday and then start the stim drugs Tuesday.

We have a nice weekend in the Cotswolds this weekend which is all paid for (comp win) so at least we have something to look forward to.

Hello
I'm here too, just not much to report. Just waiting for my blood test now to find out if OVd. I thought I didn't... but then my temp jumped a bit yesterday but that's like 3 days after the nurse said i should OV so I have no idea. To my annoyance, I was knackered the night before the jump so gave BD a miss thinking it's past the day anyway and then that happens. Grrrrrrr... :mad:

Anyway.. have a good day!

Edit: I meant to also say, excellent work to Ginvzt!! That sound quite a proper workout. I don't really get along with the wave machine and rather than work my muscles it seems to hurt them. I'm probably just doing it wrong though.

jujugaboo, I am sorry to hear about your OH!!!! I hope he can find job quickly - it is hard when it lasts...

Good luck with the scans - let us know how it goes. My head is full of cold and I can't remember anything - how long have you been on the current injections?

ginvzt, great workout programme:cool:

Maddie good luck on your scan for lap & dye tomorrow:)
I think I should ask about lap & dye soon, my tubes are probably blocked:(

Jujugaboo, hope your OH finds works soon.

As for me, it's CD1 today after AF inducing drug. Amazing how those can be so accurate. Wish Clomid was the same:o

I will start Clomid 50mg CD2-6, with self injections on CD6, 8, 10 and maybe 12 (scan day).

Sorry to hear this Juju, and everything crossed here that hubby finds work soon but....... you know how the law of sod works - when it couldn't possibly be any more inconvenient, it will happen! Fingers crossed for you (both)

I have been down reging since the 11th Sept (3 weeks) just had my AF so hopefully will all be clear for my scan on Mon. Then stim for 2 weeks.

Thanks for all your kind words about my OH - I hope he finds a job soon - I refuse to get stressed or worry about it, I just can't afford to when I am doing all this as well.

Im just lurking as usual. I dont have much to say.
DH is going to the docs tonight for the results of his second SA.
They couldnt find any at all on the first test so fingers crossed. X
