Trying for a Baby Part 8

RazWaz

Well I woke up after a very naughty dream, and felt really really sick this morning. I *may* have thought, oooh both of those things could be signs. And then I called myself a silly bint as I don't even see my donor until tomorrow :rotfl:

Hi ladies :hello:

I went to the saying goodbye ceremony on saturday. Emotional, but helpful. I did a write up on the miscarriage board, so I won't go into too much detail here.

I had an enormous headache after the ceremony which then turned in to a migraine as time went on. So felt awful yesterday. Had a 3 hour nap in the afternoon, but being in the 2ww it was only safe to take paracetamol. Obviously I googled migraine in pregnancy and found it to be a common sign On the further SS list, I have felt v faint (due to migraine) nauseaus (migraine) tired (migraine) not fancying coffee or tea (getting over the cold and psychosematic).

BFN this morning at 11dpo. I got a TLP last time at 11dpo. I am now thinking the negative tho is due to my levels of HCG rising normally and therefore I am pregnant still and its not a molar pregnancy this time. Oh my silly positivity sometimes is too much cos I am gonna thump down to earth when AF comes this time. Already trying to complile a PMA list for then which includes being able to go on rides at Hull Fair at the weekend.

Teamlowe - How did it go with yr boss today?

Lilymay - How did you get on with your boss today??

Tealover - Good luck for your meeting tomorrow. Theres a lot of work issues on here at the mo! I think if I were you I would start looking for a new job. 4 hours commute will be utterly miserable. I know what you are saying about taking time off for medical appointment - but you can't help that. I had just started a new job one time when DD had a spell of medical problems and appointments and it was just tough really. Work were fine about it, but if they hadn't have been then it would have been the wrong job for me anyway. Anywhere that doesn't realise that your own health and health of your dependants comes first is not worth working for. They won't need to know the details of your appointments. Just a gynae appointment explanation will do. And as for maternity - well stuff happens. Again, a good firm would work well with you over this as then you will be loyal to them after the maternity finishes etc. I would defo have a look and see what is out there. The worst that could happen is that you get practice at interviews or touching up your CV.

Tinks - Very best wishes for tomorrow. We will all be thinking of you and crossing our fingers for you. Please keep posting n let us know how you get on. I know what you mean about the 12 weeks board being quiet. I think sometimes people are too scared to post incase they jinx themselves (not that it works like that but its a scary time)

Lemonmelon - Glad to see you posting too. I keep stalking you tho :cool:

Anyone heard from derfinately blonde? I keep hoping she is doing ok xx

JojoB - Hugs for CD1. Are you trying this month then?

Onlywayisup - Sorry to hear about your FIL. Sending hugs to you and your OH.

Scoobs - Fingers crossed for a BFP tomorrow. I'm gonna test again tomorrow too.

Amyloofoo - Fab list :j My birthday is on 3rd November I'll be in the 2ww then tho if this month doesn't work out :doh:

Hugs to all that need them.

I'm mad at FF today, I've had no positive OPK but it's decided I was probably fertile Thur, Fri, Sat and we didn't BD until Sun :mad: Of course, it's not really it's fault, I just don't think I'm ovulating at all

And it's all feeling worse due to the fact my niece is probably arriving today and I hoped I'd be pregnant by then

Do you have a link to your FF chart we can have a nosy at to see if we can advise?

I would always trust yourself over FF - if it's marked dates as green (do you have VIP membership?) then it will probably be basing it on previous cycles and unless you have had regular as clockwork cycles for a long time, your fertile dates will most likely change from month to month. Have you had any EWCM? That's always a good indicator of OV approaching.

Also the fact that you haven't had a positive OPK yet suggests you might not have ovulated yet (although take that with a pinch of salt... I haven't always got on well with OPKs!).

If you are having reasonably regular cycles, chances are that you are ovulating, so try not to worry too much

I know it's hard when new babies are born and they are not yours, but hope your new niece will be a lovely addition to the family and you will get lots of cuddles with her I love being an auntie, my niece and nephew are amazing!

I only have VIP on my phone, so don't know how to link from that?

My previous cycles were 42 days then 28 days so I suppose it's guessing too. I haven't had EWCM at all for the previous months, just what I guess FF would call creamy for a few days around the middle of my cycle.

I'm really excited, despite the challenges around SIL, brother, OH and me (family drama eh *rolls eyes*). But the green eyed monster is horrible!

I'm mad at FF today too. It's put the little green squares around Thursday to Sunday.... OH is away from Thursday to Sunday. I swear it's done it on purpose! There's no pattern at all to when I ov. so it's totally guessing.

Congratulations on your niece (when she arrives!) It's never easy when it's someone else's baby and not yours, but I'm sure the baby cuddles will help. I love being an auntie - although somehow my niece is now 10 (going on 17) and just not a baby anymore.... how did that happen?!

Abis - fingers crossed for us both tomorrow. My age is against me but I'm trying to keep my PMA

Abis and Scoobydoo - fingers crossed for testing tomorrow!

No symptoms at all here, everything back to normal so I think last week's ss-ing was a waste of time and just due to higher progesterone levels after ov! 7DPO, one more week to wait, I think I might have a mega meltdown if AF appears so need to arrange something nice to look forward to!!

Well I'm back from my interview and it wasnt all bad - not for my first one in years anyway although I know I must have come across as quite nervous! Will wait and see if I hear anything from them soon!! I stupidly forgot to ask when I am likely to hear from them so I'm not sure what to do now - what is a reasonable amount of time to wait before contacting them?

I am now going to cook a very healthy tea and 'enjoy' a glass on non-alcoholic wine. I've given up alcohol now, as I thought it best being on the Met (unless its bubbly or a small glass of vino for a special occasion) but I found a non-alcoholic cabernet sauvignon at the weekend and just wanted to try it! It's probably vile but I'll give it a go - if its rubbish I'll just use it for a casserole or something instead!! :-)

I put all symptoms in the first week of the 2ww down to ov symptoms now. I have been through the stress of ss'ing enough times to try to keep things in check!

I find it hard to find something to look forward too other than a BFP in the 2WW. In the end everything else feels so unnecessary when the ONLY thing in the world you want is a BFP!

However, right now I am appreciating real coffee again, I had a great day on Saturday when I really honestly didn't think about TTC for the whole day, and then lots of coupley time on Sunday. We are planning a holiday, and doing all those things that make life move on. So, apart from it being Monday, life is feeling pretty ok right now.

In other news, I did manage to have the hard conversation with DH about going to the doctor. He was ok with it, and I think actually wanted more information than I could give. To me it's clear 'go and get a SA', but he wasn't sure what was needed, and what he should be asking for, and what happens if they say 'come back in 6 months' etc.

I have FS appointment too, so hopefully come November we will have some answers, or at least a plan of action. I have set aside a pot of money which we won't spend on the house or anything, to be reserved for baby making if we need it, or even for baby adopting.
