Trying for a Baby Part 9

What are you having done tomorrow Becca? Is it SA results day? If so that's super quick- did you go private? My poor OH is having his second SA on Friday but we don't get results until 18th March- poor sod is on pins! Fingers crossed all goes well!

Code, re your highlighted bit, I have a similar problem (if you want to call it a problem). I'm convinced my lining is non-existent. I've heard raspberry leaf tea is good for improving your lining but I can't find anything about how much you're supposed to have or if you're only meant to have it up to ov or what.

That was me.. I'll do some research (i.e. procrastinate and not do my essay...) and see what I can find. I've started the massage so maybe that'll help too...

Yes it's SA results day. We didn't need to go private in the end, the fertility clinic want us to get the results back before I start clomid. It's all done on site and as the test has to be done sharpish after the sample is, errrr, collected then the results should have been with the clinic by Tues pm.

I see. We're with the Liverpool Women's. Maybe we've just been unlucky with our appointments. We get his results in March and then I don't see the FS until May so will still potentially be in limbo right up until then- unless my GP takes pity on me when I go brandishing test results in March...

I've just downloaded a relaxation CD to see if it will de-stress me a bit from all this TTC malarky, figure it's got to be better for me than sitting here devouring my body weight in chocolate then trying to blame the cat...

TCD I think we are incredibly fortunate. Our FS said there is no point putting me on clomid with the possible side effects if there are problems with DH. If there is anything wrong, we will get another appointment sooner to discuss our options. They are very good.

TL that is gorgeous! Wow!! And a fab price?? I have everything crossed for you.
ps promise not to buy it, I have my hands full!!

Poo! Sorry i'm on the ipad and couldn't check back as if I change tabs I'll lose what I've typed. I will also do some more googling, I'm supposed to be studying but I really can't be bothered and this is far more interesting than tax.

You say knowledgeable- I say obsessed. :rotfl:

AF (aunt flo aka period) 101:- CD1 is the day your period starts- this is regardless of if you're on the pill or not. If you have a 'normal' textbook cycle of 28 days and a 3 day bleed and a 14 day LP (luteal phase) you would expect to ovulate on CD14. So the days before ovulation and after AF (CD3- CD13) are called the follicular phase which is when your ovaries are cooking your eggs ready for launch. CD14- EGG LAUNCH otherwise known as 0dpo (days past ovulation)! CD15- CD28 (1dpo to 14dpo) is your luteal phase (otherwise known as the 2ww/ two week wait) which is when fertilisation and implantation (usually between 7-12dpo) will occur. You can calculate your LP relatively easily if you know exactly when you ovulated either from OPKs, temperature changes, checking CM and many other techniques that are out there (ferning etc.).

When did you come off the pill? Did you have a 'normal' withdrawal bleed when you did followed by a 'cycle' with a non pill regulated AF at the end?

The Fertility Friend website which some of us use to chart bbt (basal body temperatures) and cm (cervical mucus) changes and any other symptoms is free to join and has a really good introduction of TTC which makes a lot more sense than the infant school breakdown I've just given! :rotfl:

HTH (hope that helps;) )

Gosh, epic post teaandcake! Thanks for all that info!

I stopped the pill beginning of dec and had a withdrawal bleed which seemed normal at the end of that which was around 13th Dec. I then didn't see AF until 25th Jan!! Now waiting again.

I love it!! Really think you should go and have a look, if you know you'd have the deposit within say 6 weeks then there's no problem. We completed in 5 weeks and that was with a lot of chasing and no chain on either side, but my parents have just sold their house, again no chain and cash buyers and it took three months :eek:
