Trying for a Baby Part 9

Part_Mouse

So shattered just got in and had. Very quick dinner after spending hrs at the eye hosptial.

So DH got made redundant yesterday, with immediate effect. Totally out of the blue. The offer they made is nowhere near what he is legally entitled to so we will have to instruct a solicitor - plus the settlement agreement was absolutely laughable.

I've had a very sleepless night. My salary at the moment isn't huge, although I'm expecting a decent payrise before the end of the year, but if he doesn't get another job soon I might find myself needing to change jobs too as I could get a far better salary elsewhere, I like my company though and my colleagues and don't want to move but I don't know how long we can survive on my salary alone. Thankfully we've enough put by for a few months of mortgage payments.

We are seeing the doctor tomorrow about the next step. Couldn't have come at a worse time.

First the news that DH's sperm count is abysmally low, then he gets binned from his job. These things always come in threes - what's next?

Oh Angeltreats that is rubbish. I am sorry I hope for you both, you get what DH is owed.

AFM - I wish I knew when AF is going to arrive. I imagine a while to wait yet though. I am just taking folic acid now pregnacare made me so funny not in a good way I have a head ache all the time and couldn't go to the toliet. I eat a good diet all fresh from the local farmshop as its actually cheaper than the supermarket. My partner thinks I get all the vitamins I need and should try just folic acid - so far so good.

Okay, I'm now at T minus fourteen days until implant removal....and kinda freaking out a little. It's like I know that this is what I want to do, have done for some time now, but knowing how long I've been trying to prevent pregnancy I think I'm having trouble reprogramming myself for being allowed to be pregnant, does that sound weird to anyone else? I've started taking the Perfectil supplements coz I had a couple of boxes lying around and they don't contain vit a and have 400mcg of folic acid so I think they would be ok until I run out. I'm also debating getting some ovulation tests so I can test to see when my cycle gets back online, which could be 6 weeks OMG! Though I tell myself I'd only test every couple of days I'm pretty sure I won't be that disciplined. Argh!!!! My brain feels like its gonna explode from all the thinking!

P.S-Massive hugs Angeltreats, that's some seriously shoddy behaviour by your OHs ex work. Hope it's gets sorted quickly and with as little fuss and bother as possible.

P.P.S-Congratulations on the BFPs!

Hi all, have been missing for a while due to lovely holidays with almost no Internet access (brain break). It looks like lots of people are having a tough time and I'm sorry to hear that.
Rubbish news about your oh's job Angeltreats.

Congrats on your great news Elsie, gives me some hope!

I'm 10 dpo but have cramping today, so holding out little hope. Have first fs appointment next month so roll on September...

Hi all,

Not posted in ages but have been reading.
Congrats on the BFPs katy29, debs0778, twigpig and Elsie37!

I'm cd28 today but as far as I can tell I didn't ovulate this month - no positive OPK, EWCM etc... Have never ovulated this late so guessing its just a strange month.

We are now 15 months into TTC and had a big discussion with OH last weekend about the next steps which we need to think about more.
Has anyone NOT gone to the doctor?
From our discussion we talked about possible problems and what we would do if one/both of us were unable to conceive. OH is worried if it is a problem with him I will always 'resent' him for it.
Are most 'problems' easy to sort out?!

I'm feeling very down with it all and not sure where to go from here really...

Any advice much appreciated

Part_Mouse

Angel so sorry to hear about your dh job.

purcy81

I'm so sorry to hear that angel treats that must have been such a shock for you and your oh, sending you the biggest of hugs x

Dont worry about the freak out ashia its perfectly normal! We spend so long worrying about not getting pg that it feels completely alien to stop! For ages I'd still be panicking that I'd forgotten to take my pill even though I'd chosen not to.

Glad you enjoyed your holiday cwtw welcome back x

Hugs 159 it sounds like you're having a difficult time of things. It sounds like you and your oh are able to be open about your worries when you talk which is great. I think most doctors are ok with you coming to see them after you have been trying for a year. Other than that I can't really help much but I know a lot of the other ladies have been through the testing/treatment stage and I'm sure they'll be on soon to give you some advice.

Thanks for offering to do the lists the other days catloverbex I think between us we have got it covered!

How are you feeling today PM? I just spotted your post about the eye hospital I hope you're ok x

hugs to all x
