Judging by FF, over the past year or more, while the LP length was decent -at around 12 days before IVF and 14 days after IVF- the length of the actual AF seems wrong.... I seem to have the opposite of endo with no pain and only two days of light flow. The worst it goes to is medium and the longest ever was 4 days slight spotting included but most of the time it comes in the afternoon of CD 1, I spot for an hour then it's very light flow that turns to heavier light the next day and then by the morning of the 3rd day it's gone.

This got me thinking, surely this can't be enough for emby to snuggle in, can it? Is light flow a symptom of LPD? Anyone else have this? ]]> MissAma http://www.babyandbump.com/problems-trying-conceive/77653-lpd-tmi-af-very-light-flow-question.html http://www.babyandbump.com/problems-trying-conceive/77652-another-good-reason-get-job-can-work-home.html Tue, 02 Dec 2008 15:11:59 GMT At work and all I can hear is my colleague talking about her sister who is pregnant and due any day now. All day every day for about the last 3 weeks... At work and all I can hear is my colleague talking about her sister who is pregnant and due any day now. All day every day for about the last 3 weeks she has been telling people here the latest, or on the phone talking about her. Don't get me wrong, it's an exciting time and I know I'd be excited if it was my sister, but I'm just finding it hard to hear all the time. Especially as I know she only started trying a month before I did, and now she's going to have a baby, and I haven't even had a single BFP.

Anyway, I know this is similar to lots of other posts, but just felt I needed to vent.

It's so frustrating to want something so so badly and not be able to get it and to watch it come easily to other people.

Plus I'm now cycle day 34 or something equally ridiculous and haven't O'd and haven't had any EWCM.

Not sure if you can advise but I phoned today for my blood test results which have all come back normal. I was tested for thyroid, diabetes, clotting, etc. In some respects, I know that I should be pleased but in a way, I would rather they came back with someone wrong with them if that makes any sense. Then i could make sense of my 2 miscarriages.

When i saw the doctor, she said that if they came back normal, then she would refer me to a gyno. She is going to phone me on Wednesday for a chat.

This is all new to me. What will the gynos do - tests, investigations, etc - any ideas?

It all started with a call on Friday morning with the hospital... Hi all,

just wanted to have a moan as I had a poo weekend turning into a poo Monday!

It all started with a call on Friday morning with the hospital asking me if I was there in the morning for my operation which they said was at 8:45am but my letter said 12:30pm for my lap & dye. So that appointment was messed up and has now been resheduled for 12th Dec. I was a bit apprehensive about having it done anyway as AF had not started! Then Friday night it started which really peed me off I could have had it done after all if hospital wouldn't have sent me a letter with the wrong time on it!!

Then... next door neighbour had a beautiful baby boy and yes at of course I'm happy for her but feel unhappy that we have been ttc for 18months now etc etc. Saw the baby the other day and he is soooooo gorgeous I felt sooo broody.

THEN!! I drive all the way to my office(I'm in sales and normally work from home) which is an hour away to be told that I have been made redundant! Feel like shit AND on top of that two of the other sales girls that have been made redundant are pregnant!!

I was crying not because I lost job but beacuse I feel so low about this situation! I feel so guilty also that I feel jealous of these lovely ladies and sooo happy for them at the same time. I'm so confused and feel like I can't talk to anyone at the moment as they are either to close to me and I don't want to upset them or want them to know my private life! I'm so sorry for this but feel guilty, helpless and peed off toady I know that tomorrow is another day and that I will hopefully find job etc but can't help the way I feel at the moment.

Does anyone ever feel this way? ]]> pixielou http://www.babyandbump.com/problems-trying-conceive/77379-not-happy-bunny.html http://www.babyandbump.com/problems-trying-conceive/77282-heartwarming-ivf-article.html Mon, 01 Dec 2008 13:40:00 GMT ...in Marie Claire December issue.

Its been coming on since last Tuesday. It started with a sore throat, and has progressed to a chesty cough, lots of phlegm (sorry), and a runny/blocked nose. I'm dosed up on paracetemol, cough mixture, Beecham All-in-One etc, and I'm sending OH down to Morrisons to pick me up some Vitamin C tablets and lots of orange juice.

I'm really hoping that it has gone before Wednesday, because I reckon that they will cancel the surgery if it hasn't. It's already had to be postponed once because of the stupid :witch: being due the same day.

I don't know whether to ring the hospital on Monday, or leave it till Wednesday morning. The only problem is if I leave it till the last minute, and they cancel me, it'll be too late for them to offer the slot to someone else. And because I work in the inpatient office at the hospital, I know how much it costs the NHS when a theatre list goes down.

Aaagghh, why can't my body just co-operate with me for ONCE!

I never get sick, and then the ONE time that I really can't afford to be ill, I'm ill.

Since coming of the pill in August my period seems to have gotten worse..
It is irregular (obviously normal) but also mostly really dark brown.. with no real fresh red blood.. (im 22 btw)

The cramps seem to have gotten a lot worse too and i generally feel constipated ad bloat, painfull ovulation for about a week or more aswell..

My last period only lasted about 3 days and this one seems to be about 4 days (it's only blackish and dying down now)..

I cant really seem to find any info online but from what i have read it could be Endo..

Any of you lovely ladys here that have been diagnosed with Endo, does this sound similar to you? Ive got a appointment at the Gyno for a Colposcopy (had 2 CIN 1 smears) and i was wondering what i should ask for and what should eb done so i can rule this out or start treatment..

On my letter it said sat at 12:30 and I have been for pre op assessment too. They called me yesterday morning and asked me if I was at the hospital but I was in bed as op was scheduled for later in the day. So I said that I was due in later and they said no your supposed to be in now. I said that my letter said 12:30pm and they asked me if I could come along then at 9am but I couldn't anyways as I ha eaten(not allowed to eat after certain times etc). So that is messed up now and I have to wait another two weeks until I get another one.

I just don't feel like I fit in TTC anymore - guess I'm just feeleing generally less optimistic about the whole process, and feel pretty stupid for ever putting crappy Depo in my body.

Here's a little background:

I am still coming to terms with the fact after 9 months off now pill i have only ovulated once!

I went to the doctors this week armed with my charts, and we discussed my cycles as well.

So far my cycles have been 81,56,65 and 46+ (my current cycle)

On my last cycle i have no positive on my opk till day 53/54 then ovulated.
This cycle i am constantly getting lines but no temp rise. one or two of them have been dark enough to assume a positive but they never reach the same darkness at the control line.

My two charts/cycles were the equivalent of 5 normal 28 days cycle! (so i've had 5 less chances to conceive ie 9 months = 4 cycles)

The dr is happy to refer me to get me ovulating - she thinks i've proved my point with my charts and has asked me to stop charting now (i will probably do it till :witch: arrives so i can determine if i ovulated this cycle) and Hubby needs to drop his sample off within the next week or so.

He is a little shocked he has been asked for a sample so soon - i thought we'd have to wait longer too.

He is on a lads weekend at the moment (loads of drinking involved) when is it best to do the sample, will the alcohol have an effect on his :spermy: i know we need to abstain a few days but if the booze isn't going to effect it he can do it straight away when he gets home then we can :sex: until :witch:.
please advise. ]]> littlestar http://www.babyandbump.com/problems-trying-conceive/76878-seems-belong-here-too.html http://www.babyandbump.com/problems-trying-conceive/76839-can-join-too.html Sat, 29 Nov 2008 16:06:53 GMT Hi, I have been reading all the messages for some days and finally decided to join.

I have been reading all the messages for some days and finally decided to join.

Ok so a little info abt me. I have been TTC forever (2.5 years) Never conceived. Just had a lap and dye test last month. Tubes OK, and apart from a retroverted uterus, they haven't found any problem yet. My dh has a low sperm count but the doctors say its not too bad. Anyways :witch: arrived today so am feeling really down.

All of my really close friends have now got one or more babies and i feel just so alone. Seems everyone around me is super fertile :( DH doesnt seem to care much and thinks i am going crazy bcuz i am always getting sad specially when the :witch: arrives. Anyways sorry for such a long post.

Hi guys - this is my first post in here and so hoping someone can answer some of my questions

I had a Laparoscopy done on the 19th of November and went to my GYNO yesterday, he told me they couldnt get the dye through my tubes and it actually seeped out of my uterus and behind my tubes... Has anyone every had this happen before???

My GYNO at first said he thought they put the dye in the wrong place but then said when they done the curette the dye should have went through my tubes then

GYNO has booked me in for another LAP to be done next month but i dont want this to be done, i have done alot of reading and am going to ask him if i can get a HSG done instead

I'm so confused and have no idea why the dye would seep out behind my tubes

We have been TTC for almost 3 years

Thanks in advance

so i saw my GP today, and she has ordered LOADS of blood tests, the ones i can remember off the top of my head are FSH, TSH, liver and kidney function, prolactin, and a few others that I have forgotten. she talked a bit about PCOS, and said that if my infrequent periods are the 'normal kind' of abnormal, then she can give me a medication to force my period to come, and then give me a different medication to take for 5 days which will force my ovaries to release an egg.

can anyone translate this into words that i can google, like what those medications are, and what the 'normal kind' of abnormal is? does she mean if i test positive for PCOS? ]]> hopedance http://www.babyandbump.com/problems-trying-conceive/76602-assisted-conception-very-new.html http://www.babyandbump.com/problems-trying-conceive/76512-dye-job.html Fri, 28 Nov 2008 10:06:47 GMT not for my hair.

Just a quick question ladies - i was told to ring 1st day of :witch: - now i'm cramping and spotting so figure later today or tomorrow. Very short cycle this month and temps have been really low for last few days.

I've had the odd day of a tiny bit of EWCM, but nothing like usual and no temp shift so definitely havent O'd. I did stoptaking Agnus Castus last month (purely because I ran out!!). i just kind of thought it probably wasnt doing anything and I probably had regular cycles anyway - but maybe thats what was helping. I've been taking it again the last 3 days to see if I can get my body to wake up!

I'm due to start Clomid next month so anxious to get on with it. I'm also nervous that every day that goes by, my endo is probably getting worse so my chances are getting less.

And to top it off, OH came in from work late and said he was too tired to BD after promising he wouldnt do that anymore. I knw I'm probably not about to Ov as havent had any signs, but I just want the best chance of catching that egg if it does pop out unannounced!!

Sorry to go on girls, just can't sleep for worrying about things. OH is mostly brilliant, but he doesn't understand why I can't chill out about TTC more. But then he doesn't have to have horrendous AFs every month it doesnt happen for us. All I want is for him to BD with me every other night so that at least that part of things is in our control - but I always end up having to battle with him when he's tired or not in the mood.

Anyway, I feel a little better for writing that down. I should probably get some sleep or I'll be too tired to BD tomorrow night!!

I hope you dont think I am imposing but I didnt know where to post this one.

I have had bloods taken this week to try and find out why I keep m/c.

They took about 10 vials of blood - the doctor said they would test for diabetes, thyroid, clotting, etc.

Has anyone had these tests before? They were not taken at any particular day of the month.

I get the results hopefully next Tuesday.

Would like to hear of anyone elses experiences please.

I have been TTC for 3 long years and done the clomid/fertility specialist route with no success.

After many years with no ov (due to depo injection reaction they think) I have been pregnant 4 times recently post clomid, all ending in early miscarriage for unknown reason.

I have been posting in TTC for some time but after last miscarriage would appreciate the opportunity to post here.

I am hoping to privately have further tests soon as I have an existing blood clotting disorder and hopefully have a better idea of why I can't carry a child.

Some of you may know me from the TTC boards, but I am now joining you guys in LTTC/AC.

DH has had 2 recent SA and they didn't come back good....vitality about 10% and Motility about 8%.

So DH and I have decided to look at ICSI as an option for us (we already have one DS who's 4) but obviously this will have to be done privately.

We don't have a lot of money (who does these days) so we are looking at a cost effective approach....UK seems to be very expensive and I am currently looking at a clinic in Turkey which seems to have had good success.

Is anyone else looking at IVF/ICSI abroad or has already has some success or experience?

Thanks so much in advance! :hugs: ]]> nellis10 http://www.babyandbump.com/problems-trying-conceive/75974-ivf-icsi-abroad.html http://www.babyandbump.com/problems-trying-conceive/75947-question-re-clomid-cycle-1-first-period.html Wed, 26 Nov 2008 12:28:44 GMT Hi Ladies,

Just here for a bit of advice really. I'm on my first cycle of Clomid and am due AF this Friday however for the last few days I've had really bad stomach pains - pretty much feel like AF pains.

Yesterday I had slight discharge when I went to the loo - only on toilet paper (sorry TMI!!) and this morning I went to the toilet and there was a larger brown/ watery colour and really bad pains throughout the night.

Definitely thought the :witch: had arrived as still got pains but still only slight discharge when going to toilet.

I am normally a regular 28 cycle kinda gal but I seem to remember other people on Clomid saying that their cycle was shorter/ longer...

Any advice from peeps currently on Clomid or previously used it would be appreciated.

I really think AF is on its way but I'm 2/3 days early so :confused:

Started off with redundancy and now I find that the lap & dye the doctor told me I was going to have - I'm not! It is actually a consultation appointment at the hospital and then it will be another 18-20 week wait. I don't think I can bear it any longer.

So girls, I have 2 options:
1. If I get a job soon (I'm waiting to hear today, think I have 80% chance), I can use my redundancy money to go private; or

2. If I don't get a job - then go along like a good little girl to wait patiently for another 5 months!!!!!! before I get any answers (its already been 19 months)

I am so sick of everything at the moment, this was the only thing that was keeping me happy despite all the job loss, cut backs, not spending and lying that I been doing.

I try and imagine how I'll feel and I used to be able to see a mental picture of getting a :bfp: and having a bump, so therefore I always believed it would happen, and lately this image has faded in my mind.

Sorry for the miserable post, I haven't been TTCing as long as other people, only 18 months but I am finding this the hardest thing I have ever experienced. I have wanted a baby for last 6/7 years but we decided to be sensible and wait until we were in a financial position we were happy with and for me to be happy and healthy in my life. I have suffered from ME/CFS in the past and over the last couple of years have been able to feel that I have got over it and I no longer suffer. So pretty much as soon as I felt healthier we planned when we would start trying and starting trying earlier as things felt so right! I also wanted to feel that I had achieved something for myself in my career before we started trying as I hadn't felt proud of myself for a while and wanted to feel this for myself.

I think one of the reason's I'm also finding this hard is because every single person I mentioned to that we were going to be TTC soon said oh you'll fall straight away and this got me convinced I would, so much so that I was hoping it would take a couple of months cause I didn't want it to be too easy :rofl: I should have known better!!

When I found out that I didn't ovulate I did a lot of reading and heard about clomid and thought that would be the solution to my problems. I'm now in a position that I have done 4 months of clomid and HCG jabs and am on the waiting list for a lap and we're then looking at IUI. Thing is I don't know if I can do it anymore. IUI is that last treatment resort for us as I won't do IVF as the combination of injections and egg collection is too much for me and far too instrusive. Half of me thinks that maybe I should cut my losses and accept a life without children and the other half of me thinks I should at least try the IUI especially as we only get 3 goes at it. :muaha:

I also always thought that adoption would be my back up plan but since starting to work in admin in this area I've realised that I couldn't go through the assessment as this is very instrusive in a different way and would make me angry which would obviously go against me in the assessment! Also my DH has never been keen on adoption.

Thanks to anyone who reads this, I'm not really looking for any responses as I know some of you will think, and completely justified, that I'm quitting too early but I just don't know if I can put myself through it, and I also know that it appears that I'm running away when things are getting tough, but I know what I can cope with (for example I can push myself through really tough accounting exams) and I don't think I can cope with this anymore especially the up and down to the hospital every cycle. I can't imagine myself getting that :bfp: or having a bump anymore so maybe I should concentrate on something else.

Although with saying all that I will never stop trying I just don't know if I can carry on trying with assistance.

Sorry if this offends anyone, I hope you can understand what I'm saying, I just needed to get this off my chest.

Had my HSG on Thursday and OMG!!! It was really painful, was a MAN of course who did it and didnt warn me the speculum was coming and just rammed the damn thing !!! Anyway after serious cramps during the test the good news was that everything looked fine - huge relief.

BUT,
Since Thursday (now Monday) I am no longer cramping but have "churning" and occasional pains in pelvic lower abdomen and still bleeding a wee bitty and occasional brown discharge - i am soooo not happy about this.

Do you think I should contact them, I will be mega annoyed if they have either done damage or gave me an infection cos I have never had anything like that before down there.

The other thing that really annoyed me was my darling husbands comment was "thats another month missed then"! Like it is my fault we cant BD at the monent! Times like these I wonder why I am bothering to try!!!

Feeling really low today as 2 fibroids were found at my internal ultra sound yesterday :sad2:

I had another appt with my FS this afternoon.

After having my lap back in sept which confirmed my tubes were patent and no endo or cysts - i have been going in for ultrasounds to check I am ovulating.

well after last cycle confirmed lefty was working we confirmed today that there was now a lovely follie sitting in my right ovary ready to pop over the next few days.
i have also been going in on day 21 to check my uterus lining which has been confirmed as 'text book' by the docotr - and so today he finally said I have unexplained infertitliy and that we can now move onto IVF.

I was really starting to get my hopes up - thinking that we were to get on the waitign list and in 12 months time could be getting treatment - when he said - so come back in 6 months time and I will refer you.

Turns out - if they dont know why you cant get pregannt you have to try for three years before they started AC.
so now after 2 and a half years of waiting I have to wait another 6 months just to start the ball rolling.

I know I should be happy that there isnt anything wrong with me - and I am honestly soooooo grateful for that - but I really feel so disappointed at the same time. I just dont think it is going to happen natuarally for us - if it hasnt in the last few years then why would that change - and he can say I am 'text book' all he wants but i'm not pregnant so there must be something not right - and so i just want to move onto IVF.
Having to wait even longer to then start another wait is going to kill me.

I am grateful for the help the NHS have given me - cos since my first appt in April I have been seen regulalry - but three years is ridiculous. when the clinical definition of infertitliy is no BFP after 12 months - then why make me wait another two on top of that before they can help me!!!!

Am going to contact a couple of private clincis offering free IVF in return for egg donation just to find out a few more facts - have to do something or I am going to go crazy.

Sorry for whining.

I'm new to this site and thought i would pop in to say 'hello'.
I have been ttc for a good few years, and to date, the only thing that all the investigations have thrown up is a retroverted uterus, and questionable ovulation every month, however, i think i have fallen under the umbrella of 'unexplained', as my progesterone levels, although under 30, are not that far off,so, i'm due to start clomid in Jan 09 as soon as my OH returns from overseas, and if after 3 cycles we still have no luck, we will be going in vitro or IVF some time in late spring , early summer.

Wondering if any of you could advise me on something regarding ovulation days...

I'm currently on cycle 1 of Clomid and had two tracking scans this month - the first showed two good sized follicles and the second scan (last Friday 14th November) showed that they were gone therefore the nurse advised I had definitely ovulated.

I'm not temping (as really trying not to get to hung-up on the whole ttc thing!) but at my first scan the nurse thought I would ovulate on/by Thursday 13th November which it would appear from my scan on the Friday I did.

Anyhoo my question is: when would have been the optimum BD time? DH and I are not trying to get too caught up on timings although we went for it from last Tuesday to Friday but now I'm worried that we didn't do anything Saturday or Sunday (really exhausted from work/ studying and loads of other stuff) therefore could we have missed our best time????

Is it good to BD prior to ovulation so that the little swimmers are there to greet the egg or should it be anytime after ovulation?? Sorry if I sound like an idiot - did try and do some research online !!

Really hoping this month is the month - completely silly I know as Clomid isn't the miracle for everyone but hey gotta keep positive!!! :D

Any advice ladies?

Ta muchly!
