HaHa!! Funny my DH doesnt seem to mind either! Ok going to really sound stupid here but EWCM?? PP?? (see told ya I didnt have a clue!)

EWCM- egg white cervical mucous- stuff that's meant to come out when you are about to ovulate (ov) and everytime someone puts CM it is cervical mucous of one sort or another
PP- population paste (you can guess that one I'm sure )

Took me ages to work out the DD, DS and DH thing, still not too sure what it actually stands for, the "D" that is, guessed "Dear..." sometime I am not the sharpest tool in the box

Hello everyone,

Im a newbie to this thread and I was just after some advice really, here's my story:

I had the implant (which i had for over a year) in my arm taken out on Monday 11th Aug, I then had a period on Thursday 14th Aug which lasted until Sunday 17th Aug.

Well its now the 10th Sept which makes it 27 days since the start of my last period. Over the past few weeks I have been feeling really tired - and for no reason - I go to bed at 10ish and wake at 7, to me thats normal and I have never had a problem - I sometimes now do not wake until 8 as I just cannot do it.

I'm not normally late but I didnt think about it until today when I woke up feeling really sick, and that was at 6'o'clock and I still feel sick now. I have ate as normal but havent enjoyed it.

Do you think there is a chance and that I should get a test to take firstt hing tomorrow or wait?

Thanks

Have you been having the sex without any protection?
Have you looked into how long it takes to re-adjust from having the implant in? Might just be your body settling down while it adjusts to the changes since removing the implant.
I know my cycle has gone a bit wonky after being quite regular after coming off the pill and I thought it might be that everything had cleared mysystem and things were just settleing down?

Hello Staciep88

Going by your last period date the most pregnant you could be would be approx 4 weeks (i.e. ovulated and concieved 2 weeks ago) so unlikely your symptoms of tiredness over the last 3 weeks are connected to pregnancy.
Having said that you could well be pregnant if you've been ttc so there is no harm in trying an early pg test - Good luck x

Well when I had it removed they said my periods will go back to normal straight away, and I had a period 3 days after it was removed. My partner and I got a little carried away after I had had that period and he didnt say at the time that a bit did go inside me.

Hi to all the Newbies and Welcome!

Sorry - this will be a bit of along one - please feel free to ignore it!

Well, I still can't say I am happy with the new clinic - I phoned yesterday morning and asked about the car parking, as there is a coded barrier. Nice receptionist said 'no problem' and gave me the code.
When we arrived and parked, went to give the receptionist in duty my car no' (that was what we had to do at the old premises) and she said that if I wasn't having treatment I shouldn't have parked in the carpark - it is not for people on consultant visits and I should have used the pay & display across the way! I'm amazed I kept my temper!!! !!!!!! - I am paying a darn fortune for my appointments and treatment as it is - car parking was free at the old premises - why should I have to pay now???!!!!!

I did tell the consultant, very calmly, that I am not happy with the new premises. The last 2 months have been a catalogue of lost forms, lost notes, failures to respond to telephone calls & messages, wrong infomration being given, etc, etc, etc.. I asked if having merged with the NHS facility, they were treating more patients per staff member and is this the reason - are they just too busy? She thinks not, but said my complaint was 'not unique' and that she herself is not all that pleased with the move and preferred the old premises and setup - that pretty much put paid to me having a rant at her! She will pass on my comments though, not that we expect it'll do any good.

As to the treatment - she apologised for me not being told early enough that I needed to have the blood tests done, and agreed that we CAN go ahead with the next IVF/ICSI starting next cycle anyhow, and if I don't come on in time to get the 2nd lot of tests done on day 1-5, before we go away, then we'll do without them.

I have put on a bit more weight, but because I was fine and responded well last time even though I've got a BMI of 34 (it was 33 last time - I HATE being judged on BMI - it is a load of rubbish and takes no account of how fit you are - GGRRRRR!), they will go ahead with the treatment - YAY! - I was getting very worried about this one, and this is the main reason I am sticking with this clinic and not moving to the BUPA one, as I'd have to start convincing them all over again!!!!

So, all being well, the 1st lot of blood tests this Friday going OK and AF turning up when she should (about 18th/19th) we'll start 'downregging' about 8th Oct (daily injections - yuk!).
We have the choice this time of letting the embryos go on to blastocyst stage (as long as I produce enough viable eggs), but we have decided not to as that means we won't be able to freeze any 'spare' embies (frozen blastocysts are rarer and only 30% likely to survive) for another cycle - and as a 'frozen cycle' is about a quarter of the cost of a full ICSI.........

So now it's more healthy eating for DH and I (gonna get him back on fruit smoothies even though he hates them, and remind him to take his vitamins every day - want those little swimmers to be as healthy as poss!).

See - I told you it would be a long post - well done if you have got to the end and not fallen asleep!

Best wishes to all - hugs, dust & glue!

Good luck FE, I really hope you get there this time!!!! It is not easy, but it will be all worth it in he end?... We haven't been ttc even half as long as you, and I just can't imagine what you must be going through!!!!

I agree with you about the BMI. Mine is 31, and I do know I am not a skinny one, but I am well blessed in some places and I can't really change this (I am telling my OH I am going to get an operation to reduce them - 32J is not normal...). I also had a skinny friend, who was very athletic and her BMI was 30!!!!! So, for me - BMI is a rubbish information. I would like to lose a bit of weight (I have 20kg more than I did 6 years ago, when I met my OH), but it is not that easy. And I don't believe in starving yourself - just trying to get the balance right. (I have read somewhere recently, that ice cream is good for you while ttc, so I am not going to give up that!!!!)
