Trying for a Baby Part 9

Take care of yourself Angel

Congrats Mrs Happy!!

Hope everything is ok Part Mouse, have you heard back yet?

Hugs Carrot, have you asked maybe if there is a cancellation you can get in sooner?

Please can I be updated to 2DPO please Mrs TM. Am a little confused though, as have put into Fertility Friend when I got the positive, and it says the best days were before the positive opk - I thought it was the days after??

Tia I have, basically my womb lining is coming away as there's no dominant follicle if we can't get control over it we will lose the cycle have to have the 4 th increase on fri And pray the bleeding slows down.

Hugs Part Mouse, will keep my fingers crossed that the bleeding stops

Tia thanks, we so need a dominant follicle but none want to grow.

Mrs tm hugs you've got a lot of stress going on ATM haven't you.

I've had another day of tears ov ttc. Got my fs appointment today for 6th February! I have cried all day because it is so far away.

By then I'll be 35 and no closer to getting pregnant because its only the initial assessment. We know there is something wrong with me so its hard to "keep trying" when they have said there is very little chance on our own.

Really don't know how to feel anymore and feel like just giving up at the moment it feels like we will never get our baby.
Sorry to be so depressing

I'm sorry Carrot....i really hope you get in before then....:o

So after a couple of days spotting, high temps and painful breasts which had me getting my hopes up as thats what I had on pregnancy cycle AF has arrived .....

So onto cycle 11 of active trying and 27th month of no contraception.... :cool:

Will be going to the doctors soon to start discussing testing I think...wanted to give it 12 cycles before going but I am now convinced theres something wrong and I am pretty sure I ovulate so it must be something else.

So.... I am now using OPKs and now even THAT seems to be going wrong..... As I have slightly shorter cycles, always between 26-28 days, I went by the OPKs info that i should be testing from day 9 (just in case).... CD1 was 15th September so by my reckoning, day 9 was yesterday. I turns out, i cant even get a BFP on OPK's. Nothing yesterday, nothing today. Not even a FAINT little line at all... BAH! So, starting to panic now that I am the weakest link.... Am i being a stresshead? According to Fertility Friend, my three fertile days in lead up to Ovulation were/are 24th,25th,& 26th and then Ovulation will occur on 27th, 28th, or 29th... 6 days is a long old time Do i just keep testing? Is the OPK only going to work when I am actually ovulating?? In which case, isnt that then a bit late to quickly BD as swimmers can get in the early and hang around a bit, but once that egg has gone, they have missed the proverbial boat....? Am i stupid?!

You're not stupid. It's pretty complex and it's not like they teach it in biology class, although it would be more helpful than teaching the 28 day cycle.

So, opks. The only way to figure them out is to keep using them until you get a positive. Some women get positives at different times - mine are generally after 5pm so when you see fertile signs its worth doing them more than once a day (if you're using ics). The days before your positive, you'll see the second line getting gradually darker, but it wont be positive until it's as dark or darker than the control line. When you get a positive opk that means you have 12-36 hours until ovulation so plenty of time for those swimmers to get there and hang around waiting. You do not need to test again after your positive. Sperm can live up to 7 days but typically 3 days. Your egg will live a day or so, so a positive opk is perfect timing.

I am feeling terrible. Ended up at the hospital today getting a camera up my nose which hurt and still no progress to getting better because it turns out that whatever this pain in my face is, it's not a sinus infection and it's not getting better. Oh and the all the antibiotics which meant we couldn't ttc last month (yeast infection) and this month (these antibiotics are not recommended for ttc as they destroy bone and teeth development in unborn babies) have all been pointless. DH has gone out to a gig I wanted to go to, leaving me here by myself in pain (I told him to go).

We're waiting for our appointment and they said it will be at least a 12 week wait, so will be interesting to see when our appointment will be. Not sure why it has to take so long. Did you have to fill out a questionnaire thing? At least you can be my fertility treatment buddy.
