Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 10

Great day today - found out two of the teenagers i support who already have toddlers, are both pregnant again. Whooop. Not. Both on benefits, both doing it in their own words "to get a bigger house". Great. Oh and ran the ante natal clinic as well so dealt with 9 pregnant ladies.

Oh and I am now CD20 - of a cycle which is always between 26-28 days. So I think i can safely say that the Clear Blue digi OV test thingy is DUFF and doesn't work as it gave me a flashy "high fertility - high estrogen" smiley today but again, no "peak" smiley which would mean OV in next day or so. Not going to bother buying another kit at £30 just to keep going. BAH BAH BAH!!!!! :mad: So i either didn't OV at all this month which would be weird as the kit worked perfectly last month (OV'd at CD11/12) and said I did... OR i OV'd mega early at about CD9/10.... which will mean no BFP for me again this month, although we BD'd, not that much around that time because it was so early. PAH!
Just hope that the kit is faulty and not that i have weirdly high estrogen .....

WHAT a shi*ty day.

Not fair is it? My niece is 15 and I just know she's going to get pregnant before me. Oh well, maybe she'll let us adopt the baby.

Tell me about it.... I have a 15 yr old i am supporting who self harms regularly and refuses to have her innoculations against whooping cough, flu etc. Just because she wants to be pedantic - no other reason, apart from to "get at" her mum ..... i get it, i remember being 15 lol and 15yr old girls are daft... BUT why do they get pregnant when someone like me, who is married and has a stable ( well as stable as anything CAN be!) lifestyle can't get pregnant for love nor money!

Sadly the human body is super fertile in the teens and not so much later on. Perhaps if I got myself a shellsuit and drank copious amounts of Buckfast, I'd get a BFP too?

Oh is anyone watching Hollyoaks? Thinking of getting one of those fake bumps that Sienna has so I can get a seat on the train in the morning.

oh ladies... ITS SO UNFAIR isnt it????
sounds like everyone has had their fair share of pregnant friends / Pregnant work collegues / Immature pregnant teenages!!

It makes me so mad! life really would be easier if we could pop to the supermarket and buy a baby. hehe.

Thank you ladies for the TLC - it means alot.

ouch tinks! hope you get them sorted though.

Welcome GEM - hope your stay is short and sweet x

code - please dont apologise for lateness of the lists - we are so grateful that you do them! there is no need to be sorry - ever x x x

Life certainly being a b*tch to so many of us.

credit_crunch

its so reassuring that we all think / feel the same about teenage pregnancies etc!
it really isnt fair! sometime you wonder why you work hard, buy a house. get married etc when the uk is set up to provide more for those that do none of the above! Drives me crazy!!

Code can you please update me to 0DPO
Thanks as always x

Sorry to see lots of people feeling frustrated I can sympathise although of course I am only just starting trying so I know I don't have the same reasons to be frustrated as lots of you who have been trying for a while (although I am convinced as the months go by I will be joining you!).

I have a colleague at work with two toddlers and she does not stop moaning. Everything that comes out of her mouth is a moan about how difficult life is having children (never mind that she works part time, has a supportive husband, and her parents are always on hand to help with childcare). It is annoying everyone (not least because most of the women in my department have two children so she is hardly the only one!) but I am finding it particularly irritating for obvious reasons! An older, childless colleague, who has mentioned in the past that she was sadly unable to have children, is getting VERY cross about it I think and finding it really difficult some people are so thoughtless.

I was in the doctors' surgery the other day and the screen flashed up with a name to go in and see the midwife...the girl who got up I swear looked about 13! I'm a secondary school teacher so fairly good at estimating teenagers' ages and there is no way she was older than 14. I felt irrationally jealous!

codemonkey, thank you from me too for doing the lists.

Welcome to newbies and hugs to all that need them. I have been trying to stay off the thread as I've been getting a bit obsessive about things so need to catch up over the last few days.

I starting spotting this morning so I guess I am out this month. So frustrating as only CD23 and [COLOR="rgb(255, 0, 255)"]7DPO[/COLOR] so looks like a very short LP this month which is what I suspected might be the case.

I'm not sure what to do next. This was the 1st month of using OPKs but I suspect that I have been Ov this late all along (CD 16 of a 25 day cycle) so should I go to the doctors? It's only the 5th month of trying so I know it's early days still but am I just wasting my time to keep trying and waiting to see what happens? Is there anything I can do to make myself Ov earlier in my cycle? I have heard B6 mentioned? Is that something I can get myself or do I have to go to the drs for that?

Sorry for the self indulgent post. Just feeling really hacked off with it all this morning.

Hi Laila. NHS guidlines are that you should wait a year (6 months if you're over 35), and this is the first month of opks. Also the cd21 blood test time is today so I'd suggest hanging fire until you have more information (I've found that GPs are more helpful if you go in fully informed). There are some things you can try in the meantime - Vitamin b6, you could try soy isoflavones from cd2-5 or cd3-7 and agnus castus and/or maca root are hormone balancing. You can get these otc at health shops.
