Trying for a Baby Part Six

Icey77

Me again, Remember that I hadn't commented on some of your posts! Sorry :embarasse

How's the head Euronorris? Thankfully I've not had a migraine for a few years now but can painfulyl remember the throwing up and dizzyness

Emsbet, whilst it would be great to get the answer you're both hoping for I get the feeling you are more resigned to a bad answer than perhaps Mr Emsbet is? Wishing you positive vibes and also hugs x

2Ba3C - C'mon girlie, where's that PMA? I suggest you rootle through your knicker drawer and find it quicksmart!!

Can we reinstate the reason to be happy/PMA thing we had a few weeks ago? I found it really made me think of something, anything to be happy about.

Mine is ... I am going dancing tonight and tomorrow I have a work jolly at Ascot

Afternoon Girlies,

Can anyone remind me ... the time scale between getting a positive OPK and the eggie getting released and hopefully meeting a swimmer?

I got my positive OPK on Sunday afternoon and DH and I have DTD saturday, sunday and last night ... any more and I'm concerned about it turning into a bit of a challenge for him.

Should I try one last time tonight?

Thanks
Icey xx

Here's what good ol' FF says:

OPKs work by measuring the presence of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) in your urine. A surge of LH which is sent to your ovary causes your ovary to produce enzymes which in turn causes the dominant follicle to rupture and release the egg into the Fallopian tube. This is ovulation and it is expected to occur within 24 hours of the surge of LH. An OPK is thus expected to be positive the day before you ovulate.

I am more resigned to it I think because I'm trying to protect myself from being too upset if it is bad news. I just want him to be prepared for it too.

Ok my PMA for the day .... it's actually sunny today! :j Also I got a free bottle of ice tea as Lipton are giving some away in Manchester!

Lost every ounce of PMA in my body.

Went to bed feeling utterly miserable last night, tossed and turned most of the night, and woke up feeling still utterly miserable and negative. I just know this month wont be out month.

I feel/felt much the same tbh 2ba3c

Hi everyone,

This is probably a bit of a long shot but I see in the past people have made references to Azathioprine, a drug used in Crohns/Colitis.

My partner and I were hoping to start a trying for a baby next month but he is getting cold feet as he is on Azathioprine and there have been studies linking birth defects to the use of this drug by the man during conception.

I would be really greatful to hear from anyone else who has been/is in this situation or could tell me if it is something we need to be aware of. I know he is alreasdy worried about the possibility of passing on the Crohns and am worried that coupled with this he would rather not risk having an unhealthy child.

Thank you.

Sorry laura, I can't help you but I think you should both speak to your/his doctor about it. He might not need to come off the medication completely, he may just need to not take it within x time of BD or something? Either way, only your doctor can discuss these worries with you properly

Good luck with it all.

Woke with a nasty migraine this morning. First time in months, but it had me vomiting. Feeling a bit better now though and was finally able to have breakfast.

I hope you are all well.

Pooh to migraines. I know the feeling dude - even my blackout blind only provides a limited amount of relief. Hope it passes quickly
(p.s.does this mean you're back on this thread now...?:))

So this will be unlucky for some 13th month, but am hoping it's lucky for us

Good luck

Enjoy

Good idea Smash started this off I think, I miss her pink writing

Derby - well done


I've had what looks suspiciously like an ov dip/soar...and yet it's a week after the EWCM I saw.... I'm so confused :huh::(

PMA? Hmmm... the sun is shining, which has the knock on benefit of the dogs being happy outside

Just called for the results of my second blood test and surprise, surprise I’ve not ovulated.

I’ve only just had my first period in ages and I’m now overdue my next (but only by a few days). I have to have another blood test (which I think is to check my hormone levels for PCOS) but I’ve been told I need to wait until I’m menstruating. Does that sound right to you guys?

I did get an appointment for my ovary scan but I couldn’t make that appointment so I’m waiting for them to send me out another appointment.

I feel in limbo a bit at the moment – as I know there’s no point in actually trying. Oh well.

On a positive front I started weight watchers last week and my first official weigh in is on Wednesday. I had a sneaky speak over the weekend and it looks like I’m going to have a good loss – unless I eat a horse between now and weigh in

I had this too fannyanna. I had to wait til AF came so I could go to the lab between CD2 and CD5 to get the blood test done. I've not had the "CD21" test yet... even if I was given it, I wouldn't know when to time it to be 7 days post-ov anyway :cool: Hope you get the scan appt quickly.

I know it's hard but try not to think that there's "no point trying" - your body is a mystery, but that doesn't mean there's no point at all. Maybe taking the pressure off of thinking you HAVE to do it will help you relax and get that BFP?

I do know the feeling though, and I hope you get the answers and support you need soon

ETA: well done re WW I think I best get back on the wagon before I put on the lbs I've lost!:shocked:

((hugs)) but like Zippy said maybe if you are not thinking about TTC then maybe you will get your BFP

:j:j Well done with the weight loss! :j:j

Don't take that too seriously, especially if it was not 7DPO.

It's usually done at around CD3:)

A lot of people get pg once they've given up, so your attitude could be a winner:cool:
