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

Awwww C4B well done!!! So glad to hear your news, fingers crossed for you for the next nine months xxxx It appears I am not super fertile after the HSG, oh well need to see what happens next month, although the days inbetween seem to be getting longer, up to 24 days now, in two years could be 28days and I might get there. Sorry feeling a bit down at the moment, did check my weight on the Wii last night and it appears my bmi is arround 35.42 so not far to go but need to double check at the gym:D

:grouphug: to those that are needing some xxxx

C4B - hurrah!!! Not rubbing our noses in it, it's lovely to know that happy endings are possible (hugs)

Nil to report here. Think I've just ovulated and DH has been away, so zero chance this month. *sigh*. Oh well. And I've eaten cake (quite a lot of it) & drank wine (again, quite a lot) so no chance of a weight loss this week either!! am with chickpea on the 'putting on a front'. Necessary after spending this long ttc.

Hi all, I hope you don't mind me popping back on to update you. I had my scan today to check everything was where it should be because I have tubal issues. Went in absolutely convinced something was wrong as I had a little bleed last week and lots of cramping and some pains in my right side. Got the shock of my life when she said everything was where it should be and its twins!!!

I hope you don't feel I'm rubbing your noses in it as its the last thing I want to do. I'm just amazed and a bit shell-shocked. Never ever thought I would get here

I hope everyone is ok xx

Woohoo, thats fantastic!! Bet it was a bit of a shock!! Two little bundles of trouble for u xx

Think I might be with you on the wine....... oops! We're not back at the FS until May, so I've decided to stop being good for a little bit. It could be a long old slog of being good once we start treatment, and our chances are virtually zero without treatment, so whats the point in depriving myself in the meantime?!

Hugs to all those that need one, and keep practicing those 'I'm ok, honestly' smiles - they look like this: :):):):):) xx

Make sure you take your own pad with you for HSG:o
And fingers crossed you'll get pg straight after HSG as you are supposed to be super fertile after that:cool:

I'm in a dilemma now... I have to call them on cd1ish to book in for it, but I don't know whether to call this cd1 or not...?! It's so pathetic it's barely light flow AF, but I guess it's a bit more than spotting... It could get to a definite AF state in days our them a well our more from now, but would I then have to rebook the test, or just go anyway? Then again, it might not, and this might be what it's like for a couple of weeks :cool: I also need to do a cd21 blood test again before going back to FS at the end of May, but -again- I don't know what to call cd 1!:huh: :think: Stupid body, doesn't it know I have to book things in around it?! :cool:

I think I'll have to ring and ask the nurses at the FS for their advice tomorrow :think:

Fab news C4B!

Bigzippy, definitely ring for advice. I'm sure they'll have seen this before and will know what to do.

BZ - I am sure nurse at fs will be able to advise you on booking hsg and blood test.

Katenut - no harm in treating yourself to wine and other goodies rather than feeling constantly deprived.

Anmarj - hugs

Onestep -wine is allowed particularly when oh has been away.

Runnerduck

lovely news c4b well done xx

katenut

Bigzippy, I'd go with ringing the nurse for advice. I think if you book it then you can always cancel it if your body is not behaving as it should, and then you've got the appointment there if this really is CD1. I think they do it between day 7-10, and you have to have stopped bleeding, so maybe if you aim for day 10 you might have chance to rebook if you need to? (think that makes sense, I am rubbish at explaining myself!!) xx

QQuaver

c4b, twins!!!:j:j Congratulations!!!:T:T

BZ, my clinic said I can only have hsg when all AF has gone (no spotting). So I'd call the clinic and ask:o
As for CD21 test, I'd go at CD21 as I know you can't pin point ov:o
The result would probably say you didn't ov, but one can't wait forever:D

Wow-C4B-that sounds so exciting :j

Katenut-I'll join you in a rather large glass of wine if I may! I try to keep myself healthy and watch what I eat/drink, but as time has gone on (and on) I realised I need to keep living my life and have a little bit of what I enjoy. I am still careful but no longer make myself feel guilty if I slip a bit

anmarj-my hsg didn't seem to make me super-fertile either. CD1 today, so it's onto Clomid for me. It could have been worse-I was due to start tomorrow and it's my birthday so that would have been a bummer. At least this way I can have my down day today and enjoy tomorrow... I think I may put a weepy film on tonight and cry it out :cool:

Any recommendations?
