Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 13

skimper

Hugs PKK, I know how you feel, everytime its fathers day or a birthday, mothers day etc I was think how nice it would be to be able to surprise the OH or family on those days.
I'm just struggling to shake off this downer i'm on. I'm CD 9 today so getting to fertile week, i'm just going to give to the best chance I can.

How is things with the clinic going PKK?

Cd13 for me, I've started the opks again this month just to double check ovulation. I've had 2 positives today and yesyerday, with bloating and pain today, so I think ov will be tomorrow, the line wasn't as dark as the control so don't think it's today. Going to try for BD today and tomorrow just to make sure we're covered.

We are just sorting out a few tests here and there (managing to get two via the nhs and just trying to find out if we can do the 3rd via the nhs too!). Once we have our blood tests results back, OH can book in to give a sample. The plan is still to have IVF later in the year after our holiday but need to see if OH has any swimmers we can freeze and use. This will be quite a milestone in the process for us so slightly nervous about this.

Oh that's good pkk, saves you a bit of money.

We managed to BD on CD 8,12,13,15 with ov being either 13 or 14, so we should be in a good position this month. Looking over the past 6 months we probably didn't time it as well as I initially thought we did, we only really BD'd once 2 days before ov, which can lead to conception but probably isn't enough.

So I'm cd22 today and due on next sat, 1 day before our wedding anniversary! Fingers crossed we've done enough this month!!

Hope you're ok skimper, my colleague announced her pregnancy about 2-3 months after my loss and stood complaining about how exhausted and sick she was feeling! I know she didnt mean badly by it but I had to bite my tongue not to snap at her that I would love to be feeling that!

Kinda gave up on the smep plan just after ovulation lol, it was knackering with my shifts, all I wanted to do was sleep when I got in bed ��

PrettyKittyKat

That sounds promising Skimper! Fingers crossed this month is the one!

Ah a BFP in time for your 1st anniversary would be wonderful MrsBurrows, fingers crossed you get it!

Accordingly to FF my fertile days have started, although Ovia says they don't start until Thursday. I think, and hope, FF is more accurate as I am away Friday-Sunday this weekend without OH so would miss ovulation if it is anything after Friday!

skimper

I really hope so! I was reading on another forum that resting heart rate stays high when you've conceived, so that's another symptom I'm trying to spot haha.
Due on this weekend so time will tell.

Fingers crossed for you Mrs burrows what a lovely present that would be.

AF turned up yesterday

Starting my diet again tomorrow haha.
I've been away in Wales all week in my campervan, its been lovely, apart from yesterday when we climbed snowdon! It was awful haha, I'm in so much pain today!

PrettyKittyKat

I really want to climb Snowdon! A bucket list kind of thing. I'm not fit in the slightest (although working on it!) so I think a challenge like that would give me something to aim towards! Am I right in thinking there are easier and harder routes?

Sorry AF turned up and ruined your nice week though!

Our GP has confirmed that we can do another of our tests through the NHS - which saves us a few hundred which is good! Hopefully my OH will be able to give his sample soon and we will know whether there are any swimmers we can freeze (fingers crossed).

How are you getting on Mrs Burrows?

skimper

Yeah there are, I did the lamberis route 5 years ago, which is the easiest route. I was a lot fitter and skinnier then.
We did the pyg and miners trail this time, which is medium ones. It was more boulders and rocky, and scrambly which I didn't really enjoy, I bailed out about 3/4 of the way up, but I honestly couldn't of finished it.

AF is nearly over now, so back on it for cycle 16. I meant to start temping but I just forget in the morning.

Oh that's good that you can have more tests, every little helps!
