We gave up and then it happened

by rpkentComment Published at 20:1520:150 comments0 comments14 Visits14 VisitsReport

Maybe I shouldn't be on this group because no longer tcc but.....I totally understand.  Had my 1st boy @ 28 yo - but only after 8 miscarriages in 6 years, all of them around week 10.  So finally I had a baby and we was gorgeous. 

TTC again but it just didn't happen.  Years passed and we kept trying; nothing nothing nothing.  Went through complete IVF program 3 times but my eggs were suffering the destruction of an aging body.  We stopped trying - too stressful and upsetting. 

Several months went by and we had totally accepted there would be no more babies so we went away to the whitsunday islands in qld australia and drank champagne on poolside chairs for 2 weeks.  4 weeks after we got back home I realised I had missed a period - I thought I had gone menopausal - guess what - at 42 yo God blessed us with another blue eyed, blonde haired perfect baby boy. 

I share this with you because I believe that it was NOT trying but learning to relax and just enjoy the love and company of my husband that brought our son to us........but maybe it was because the holiday was an anniversary treat and I wouldn't let hubby have sex with me or himself for a whole month - I wanted to bring some really hot desire back to our marriage - not just the usual old thing - so who knows, that might have helped too.

still waiting and waiting and waiting :(

by libbylincolnComment Published at 17:5317:531 comments1 comments65 Visits65 VisitsReport

i have now been waitin since september 7th which was the first day of my last period which ended on september 19th  so it went for a while ,ive had a few craps but no bleeding . this has been happening for 6 mths now and iam getting frustrated my period comes and goes when ever it decided to do so .usually its between 40 day cycle if iam lucky .

i ahve tried ovulation stips which helped me conceive my last daughter butit was pure luck as i was having periods every 30 days back then ,so i went to the doctors and they did blodd tests my sugar levels were a little high  at times ,but i just had breakfast wehn i did the test to.

iam 100 kg but i conceive one of my kids at 130 kg and all i did was lose 5 kg and i got pregnant.then i tried thhat this time around after i got home from the ultrasound place and i got the ok that i had no cysts and my lining was think i got myself wakingthe dog and eating no sweets or junk and ate less at meals adn no coffee and coke ,and my period still did not return and i got dizzy spells from going cold turkey on sugar and i felt sick .

what a waste of time that was .

i was never a big eater in the first place so my bosy couldent cope so i still walk but bugge giving up my choc a day or when i need it .

doc wanted me to eat 5 times a day but i feel yuck if i do so iam sticking to 2 times a day as thats what my body can coke with .i drink only 2 glasses of coke a day if that and i dont have coffee.

i ahve "sex daily or every second day " dont make any diference,and 2 days ago i got some bleeding but it did not go on the pad,it was only when i wiped myself so i dont know if that was considered period or bleeding from sex .

its was light pink almost invisible not even enought to fill a spoon and it was also brown at times,and i had brown blood before as i was told it was old blood but it wasent enougth to get excitted about .

then today it stopped :( i bought myselfa saliva ovulation thing which iam waiting for in the mail hope its easy to use .

but without a period i cant ovulate i dont think,i still see sometimes white dischage but its hard to work out whats what?

my baldder is week at times so knowing if i ahve ovualted its impossible ,and the charts they offer on the net they are hard to read without a period or a normal cycle.

not ovulating

by natelz1Comment Published at 13:2813:283 comments3 comments283 Visits283 VisitsReport

i doesnt seem like im ovulating, i have had no sticky icky discharge, i was only ment to be ovulating yesterday ish but i havent even had an increase of discharge, only once wen i went to the loo last thursday, and that was only one toilet stop, grrrr. Im on clomid, and its not working.

i will test in two weeks, but im fairly sure i havent ovulated. its so frustrating. Im devastated at the possibilty of not having any more babies. i wasnt prepared for that.

i met up with an old school friend and we chatted and we talk about having more babies, and she said she wouldnt have anymore and i told her i had been trying. then she avoided me for a week and a half (we were ment to meet for coffee) and she finally admitted she was pregnant and felt really stink. then i felt stink she felt stink.im so genuinely happy for everyone,

it just seems that everyone is pregnant! except me! Its not fair!i feel like throwing myslf on the floor having a massive tanty!

anyway thats my rant
