AF arrived yesterday ... :cry:
Need to find some peace about God's timing.

To stay positive I went on the internet and bought some more OPKs and Pre-Seed for next month. I also ordered a conception curve pillow - that should be fun!Anyone else got one? Also, does anyone else use Pre-Seed?
yup-- pre-seed here!:thumbsup:

I ordered an Aimstick Pregnancy test yesterday. At least I think that's the name of it. It should be here in 3-4 days. :prayer:

This is my longest cycle yet. I'm on cycle day 39.
Does that mean your AF has still not showed? Do you have a normally long cycle? - 39 is a long one. Hope you get a BFP this time!

Hi SweetBella,
Pre-seed is great stuff isn't it? I must admit that sex is less sore for me since we've been using it.

Can I ask a weird question? When I use it I find it really hard to empty the tube - it's like I can't get it all out and I worry that I'm not using it properly - does anyone else get this problem? Also, should I use it every time or just when I think I'm fertile?

Thanks.

Hiya, I try to put mine deep inside too. I just squeeze too (lol) but it's just that when I take it out and think it should be empty there seems to be loads still in there - oh well, what fun, will keep squeezing next month .... I know what you mean about not wanting to waste it - it's a bit pricey, but will be worth it in the end.

may i ask how your husband reacts/responds to the whole TTC situation?

Well he thinks it is fun. :sorry: He is starting to get slightly impatient too. I think, like me, he just wishes this part was over with.

Hi ladies

Worknprogress I really hope this is your month!!

Hi CHillybean just want to say thanks again for the prayers and Congratulations to you!! Never realised you were pg!! REally appreciate you coming in here to pray for us all!

Bookwormprincess i'm sorry you got af. Hoping for a late valentine's bfp for you! Praying for peace and contentment for you in the mean time.

Well today's the day I see the Dr. I was speaking with my mum (who's a nurse) she said they may not take my blood late on a friday afternoon due to the fact that the blood van will be away by that point, so i might need to go back next week, but we'll see what they say anyway.

Fertility Friend has changed my O date back AGAIN!! to cd 46 which means that my implant signs are being acknowledged again, so i guess that's a good thing. Plus my temp went up today, have no idea what my body's doing at all!

Love and God bless
xx

Just wanted to pop in to update. I went to see my Dr yesterday, I am now booked in for a blood test next wednesday to see if i'm producing eggs, but hopefully in that they could also see if i'm pg or not. As some people can be 3months gone before they register on an hpt. ANyway the Dr has put the ball in motion in case things aren't too great.

My blood results supposedly take a month but i'm thinking she might mean up to a month, she's also referring me to the fertility clinic at the hospital which can take a couple of months to get an appointment. There was mention of clomid and scary stuff like lap and dyes, and other tests. Also if i wanted to go the whole way I am eligible for 2 shots at ivf on the NHS due to my age and not having any other kids etc.

So it's still a huge big waiting game again. In the mean time i've to keep charting (she was not very confident in reading my chart - but she's putting me to someone who can i suppose) and waiting and waiting an waiting.

I hope God will step in and stop me from going near a fertility clinic, I would much rather He fixes me without having to take meds, but I guess even if I have to it'll still be in His plan.

Thanks again for your prayers and i hope you all have a wonderful weekend
xx

Hi Jillymac,
Glad your doctors appointment went ok. All this waiting must be hard, can't believe it'll take a month to get your blood test results - well that's the NHS for you! I never realised a pregnancy could take so long to show up on a hpt test, I guess it really is all the more worth waiting till a missed period before we do one.

I never realised you could be eligible for IVF this early - are you only 24? How do you feel about IVF? I'm not sure whether I'd be able to go through with it but I do so want a baby or our own, I imagine the whole procedure could be quite traumatic in reality.

Sorry to ask something that everyone probably already knows, but how long have you been trying?

Really hoping that your blood test comes back with a pg result and that your wait goes quickly for you.

:hug: X

Yes clomid is a fertility medication used here in the US. I don't know about its popularity in the UK though. Here though, it is used regularly for women who have been having difficulty getting pregnant due to underactive ovaries. I am not sure if it even goes by the same name in the UK(they tend to name their meds differently across the pond)
