Trying for a Baby Part Six

sexymouse

Evening all,

Nothing much to report at this end still - got 5 days to go until I find out either way. Have been really busy at work again, and really tired. I think there may be a bug going around our class as quite a few have been going home early feeling sick - fingers crossed I don't get it!

We haven't had any announcements on here for ages!!! Is there anyone out there who is/has testing/tested????

Hello to all of the lurkers who are coming out of hiding to say hello!

Happy holiday to Rebekah. Hope you have some nice weather.

I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed that it all goes well for you tomorrow emsbet - I may not get online tomorrow night as we're taking my dad out for an early father's day dinner, but I'll be thinking of you.

I watched the baby hospital last night and Moon actually watched with me as I told him that there wouldn't be any ladies giving birth on it - he refused to watch one born every minute! lol. Both of us were nearly in tears, and Moon started to rub my tummy subconsciously.

Well I'm off downstairs now to watch home and away, and have some dinner as I've been feeling a bit shaky this evening.

Hugs for all who need or want them, and successful babydancing and sticky vibes to everyone.

Hey ladies,

how are we all. I have been reading but not had anythign to contribute (again).

Hugs Emsbet and Colli, hope you are doing OK.

Hay fever is sooooooooo bad at the moment, resorting to hay fever tablets, eye drops and sitting inside all the time but still look and feel awful! Poor DD has been stuck inside all day with me hiding from the pollen invasion!:o

My PMA, Holiday for September now booked with in laws for September, I can't wai,t! Oh, and on the subject of sunshine- Boots have a family pack of soltan for 12.99- but scanning at 3.25 today so stock up ladies if you need some. Also have quite a few haircard reductions to go with the haircare voucher too which was handy, i spent 65p on myself today!:j

Off to Cambridge for an all day meeting tomorrow so not back in the office until Tuesday! Office seems pants at the minute and a lot of politics going on so just getting my head down and getting on with my work, I just can't be bothered with any of it anymore.

Happy hols to those off shortly, I shall be sitting here green with envy- just make sure that you come back with a BFP!

Me and DH haven't BDd since Friday- have told him its open season but he's not 'had a go' at starting anything yet- I'm too shy and try and telepathically tell him, or put on a skimpy nightie and parade in front of the TV to try and entice him but it doesnt work:o

Loving the vibe on the board at the moment, I'm still learning a lot from you all and am grateful for you all keeping me sane!

Oh, I had a question- Agnus Castus can you start taking it mid-cycle? I'm thinking of that, and royal jelly on top of folic acid (i'm already taking) to try and regulate my cycles without medical intervention. Not asking for medical advice just wondering if you ladies have done anything similar or anything else that worked- I don't want another 90+ day cycle!

Will now go back to lurking

Starting with good news - I had my first weigh in this morning after a week following the weight watchers plan and I lost 5lbs.

Now for the rest of my news and I have to provide a warning - drama queen post coming up.

I'm gutted

I've recently been diagnosed with PCOS and have an internal scan to look forward to. Also my doctor suspects my tubes may be blocked and has mentioned all sorts of nasty (and undignified) procedures. So far I've been putting this to the back of my mind so that I don't freak out.

I've only recently had my first smear which was not enjoyable at all (and I'm sure most people feel that way). Well I've been worried about my results and waiting for them to come through.

Just come home from work in a great mood and now feel like crying. I have moderate dyskaryosis which is basically pre-cancerous cells (although not actually cancer and doesn't mean I'll end up with cancer). So I now have the joy of a colposcopoy and having had a quick read up have read that I will need treatment (cells either frozen or burnt off or cut out - that sounds pleasant).

So now I'm freaking out about the amount of tests/procedures I'm going to have to have down there in the near future (taking into consideration the PCOS, potentially blocked tubes and smear results). I'm worried both about the potential pain and also the indignity of it all. I know this is stupid but it was bad enough a female doctor going down there but the thought of a male doctor really embarrasses me. I know they've seen it all before and they don't care but I can't help the way I feel. I also know I'm going to have to get used to bits being looked at with wanting to have a baby but for me it's different when you're actually pregnant/in labour.

And to top it all off having had a quick glance through the leaflets, because I will need treatment and not just a colposcopy it says that it's important not to get pregnant - oh well fat chance of that happening anyway.

I'm sorry for going on. I just feel really carp about it all. And yes of course I do know that any pain or indignities that I may suffer are a WHOLE lot better than getting cancer.

hugs Fannyanna, I hope you are OK.

I don't think you are being a drama queen.

My friend had a colposcopy not too long ago and it wasn't as bad as she thought if that is any consolation.

Hopefully all of your problems will be dealt with pretty quickly and you'll soon be back on the TTC train and then will be more likely to get a quick BFP.

Big (non creepy) hugs to you xx

Good Lord its 36c in Portugal! I am going to get fried alive!!

Massive hugs FannyAnna. I'll bring you back some hot sunshine.

It didn't last month either tho. And I don't get +ive OPKs. EWCM seems all over the place. I just don't know what's going on and it's doing my head in.

Like GG said, you may need less sensitive OPKs:o

Yay for ewcm!:T Have great BD!:j

Oooo! Yay for EWCM! :j Get BDing tonight and tomorrow (ov is usually 24-48 hours after EWCM - is that right QQ? ) - I think! Oh dear I might be getting confused with OPKs..... What the heck BD every night!

BD when you see ewcm, ov is when there is no more ewcm:o

Aww... (((hugs))).
Remember hay fever tabs dries up cm, so drink plenty of water:o
Some say it is good for implantation though:cool:

Anywhere nice?

If I want to BD, I offer to massage him in bed...:p

Oh, I had a question- Agnus Castus can you start taking it mid-cycle?

Agnus castus is not recommended after ov. I know some has taken it throughout the cycle and had perfect babies, but so you know:)

Internal scans are not painful if you are worried, just relax. It's a stick with condom on it:o

As for checking tubes, I had HSG (there's hycosy and lap & dye as well), and it was a breeze for me. I have read about nightmare HSGs though:(

Just come home from work in a great mood and now feel like crying. I have moderate dyskaryosis which is basically pre-cancerous cells (although not actually cancer and doesn't mean I'll end up with cancer). So I now have the joy of a colposcopoy and having had a quick read up have read that I will need treatment (cells either frozen or burnt off or cut out - that sounds pleasant).

(((hugs))). Glad it was found before going cancerous:o

I'm worried both about the potential pain and also the indignity of it all.

I don't think of the doctors/nurses as people, I think of them as robots with no feeling:D Think of it as a great pre pregnancy training:cool:

I also know I'm going to have to get used to bits being looked at with wanting to have a baby but for me it's different when you're actually pregnant/in labour.

I know what you mean:(

it says that it's important not to get pregnant - oh well fat chance of that happening anyway.

Oh I'm so so sorry:(

I'm sorry for going on. I just feel really carp about it all. And yes of course I do know that any pain or indignities that I may suffer are a WHOLE lot better than getting cancer.

Hugs fannyanna - my sister had her first smear in November, and she had to have the same procedure done. She had a male doctor too, but they tried their best not to make her feel uncomfortable. The only thing that wasn't so pleasant afterwards was period type pains and a bit of spotting, but a hot water bottle and ibuprofen helped, and it didn't last very long. It did scare me into having a smear test though, and I agree, they aren't very pleasant. Can your OH go with you for moral support, or would that make it worse for you? Have you talked to your GP about the TTC part - they may be able to offer you some advice and answer any questions you might have about it all?

GemmaE

Thanks QQ, Will bear that in mind re water. Need to get creative with DH I think.

We are going to Tenerife for 10 days which is just what we need, you never know that may help with the BFP too- we are staying in separate apartments to InLaws.

Fannyanna- Forgto to say well done on the weightloss x

fannyanna

Thank you ladies. You are really kind. You made me cry so I hope you're happy with yourselves .

Made the mistake of googling about the biopsy - peoples experiences range from feels like a pinch and some cramping to it's unbelievably painful with lots of bleeding. I'm worried as I actually found the smear painful which most people say is just uncomfortable. And that's just the biopsy and not the actual treatment. Although you do get local anesthetic with the treatment so in a way that doesn't seem as bad (other than the thought of a needle being shoved up there).

Also I'm feeling very pitiful as I snapped at Hubby and told him to go out and leave me alone. He had plans to go out tonight but said he'd cancel but then I snapped and him and basically told him to get lost. Now I feel all pathetic and lonely. Talk about cutting your nose off to spite your face!

Anyway, I'm getting even more pathetic now.

It says you can take someone with you. I think I might ask Hubby to come with me and wait outside. I think I'll be even more of a baby if he's actually in the room with me. At least when you're by yourself you just have to suck it up and get on with it.

The leaflet just says you shouldn't get pregnant until you've been treated as the pregnancy hormones make treatment more difficult.
