Trying for a Baby Part 8

loulou123

Sorry to keep you all waiting! But thanks for all thinking of me

AF has arrived so No BFP for me again, after nothing all day yesterday, I went to loo before bed and passed a fairly big clotty thing, and then this morning there was hardly anything again, but now its a normal heavy flow with cramps etc so I'm Definately out this month. Not sure whats going on, with late arrival and the clot last night.

Am seriously beginning to think this just isn't going to happen for us and I feel really fed up about it today...its been about 2 years off ttc now, so there's got to be something wrong.

So sorry Loulou. Sending you hugs. I was really hopeful for you.

Good Vibes - hugs to you too.

AFM, I'm expecting to ov today or tomorrow. We have been using Conceive Plus and haven't found it too bad although it's stickier than I'd like!

TeamLowe

sorry to hear that LouLou and big hugs for feeling down about the whole thing have you and DH had any of the tests yet?

...had a dream last night i was really upset because my pregnancy bump was really pointy and i was crying to my mum saying it looked like snoopy's nose...i really shouldn't stay up late browsing fertility forums, i just like the hope i get from their signatures x x

I have dreams too where I am pregnant, and sometimes in RL I start to think I am! Then I remember I'm not.

Anyway my opk came today and have tested and am not ovulating yet. Will retest this evening just in case. But feel more positive now as I have these, am on this forum, have got conceive plus and have had some of the blood tests done.

Im trying to exercise 3x a week - did slim in 6 today, wasn't too bad, thought about doing insanity but will wait a while.
Back to work tomorrow.

Thanks everyone, it helps to know people are listening to me and in same boat (although I'd rather you all had instant BFPS hand weren't!)

I've had various tests, but not recently, before we started ttc, I got tested as I have mild pcos, and everything was fine then, had internal and external scans, blood hormone tests etc, hormones were fine, tubes etc were all fine, just some cysts on one ovary. Age is not on my side either as Im 34 this year.

Hubby though won't get tested as of yet, he's convinced the problem is with him and he keeps cancelling the appointments, as some emergency comes up at work. Thing is if the problem is with him I know he's going to blame himself, as he took some recreational substances in the past that are known to cause infertility.

I'm pretty certain there is a problem, as before the 2 years of actively trying, we used the withdrawal method for about 5 years (as a pregnancy wouldn't have been a problem, but we weren't trying either.)

Hugs to loulou. Totally understand your exasperation. That's pretty rubbish. Let's hope next cycle is the one.

Still feeling very PMSy so hoping that it doesn't continue for the next 9 days. The hopeful part of me is ss but the sensible part has an answer for everything.

I've been weeing a whole lot since last night = you had a drink before bed, and have drunk 2l of fluids. Of course you're weeing.

My boobs hurt = your boobs always hurt.

I have AF cramps and stomach pain = you probably need to poo.

I had a weird dream about being a drug runner = you a crazy fool.

I'm very emotional = PMS

I really hope you do not have a problem and it is just a matter of time - but - a lot of infertile couples never get diagnosed with anything but just told they have unexplained fertility. This is presumably because there is something wrong but medical science has not found out a way to identify what it is yet. Also some couples can be infertile in combination with each other but would be ok with another partner. So whilst tests may reveal a problem, they may not.

If there was something wrong with your partners sperm they can do things like where they identify a healthy sperm and inject it into the egg. Or there is the donor sperm option.

Good luck.
