    Good luck to everyone glad to see we are all a pro active bunch! And doubly glad to hear others have positive experiences of sharon! I found her lovely! Our biggest obstacle at the moment appears to be me and my inability to dilate.

    She is great. Glad you found her helpful, very hard to find a good gynaecologist. Fingers crossed for us all.

    I probably shouldnt say but.

    We weren't able to resist doing a test.

    We got a little blue +!!!!!!

    :D

    We reckon about two weeks gone or so, she had an appointment booked with her gp for next Tuesday anyway as she was freaking out a bit about not conceiving and wanted to go and chat to her. Going to get one of the digital tests tomorrow.

    Feeling overjoyed and absolutely bloody terrified, and a little bit weepy for the child we lost.

    Most definitely! Think its vaginismus is what she suspects I have but she didn't explicitly say more focused on getting the physio end sorted to make sure its that and not an extra thick hymen. When are you due back to her scouse?

    I'm not with her until I need her really. Had the implanon removed and she wanted us to try and see how we get on. As the effects of the implanon aren't to known. But I'll be back to her in s couple of months anyway. She has a fab temprement.
    The physio and plan she has given sound like a great start.

    Just reading back through the last few posts, good on you all lots of great proactively going on! Once we get to the six month mark will definitely be going down that route too of making an apt with a fertility clinic. Ruaile buile great to know you didnt have a long wait for apt!


  • Administrators, Business & Finance Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 16,978 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Toots


    Saul massive congratulations! Delighted for you and your wife!! I think it's natural for it to be a little bittersweet so if you need to shed a few happy/sad tears go ahead. Wishing you both a very healthy happy pregnancy :)

    I've been temping religiously this cycle, and for some reason fertility friend thinks I ovulated 6 days ago (3 days after my period finished) based solely on temps. Haven't had any other signs of ovulation so it'll be interesting to see if it's right. :-/

    I know what you mean about temping religiously toots. I got my LH surge Tuesday so dtd for those 2 days. Then my temperature went from 36.17 yesterday to 36.58 today so going on that basis I guess I've already ovulated. It's so hard to know! I'm new to this temping business!! Just wondering whether I should try again today? OH is a bit knackered though he says!

    Lol, well I'd always be of the opinion that an extra shag couldn't hurt :p

    Another bfn today. 5 weeks since the implanon removal, and 17 dpo. Just want Af so u can start properly.
    Thinking of a new reflexology/homeopathic regime so will be looking into that tomorrow.

    Ah sorry to hear that, hopefully AF will appear soon so you can focus on the next cycle.

    Yeah mine didn't like that aspect either plus he was wrecked and full of a cold!

    Yeah it's a lot of pressure on both sides really, I'm going to try and relax this month too and just dtd frequently but not on a schedule.

    Yep definitely agree. Tough all round. Going to do the same here. Oh thinks everything, i.e reflexology/homeopathic approaches are not needed until we've been trying for a good while. Hard to know what to do.


  • Administrators, Business & Finance Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 16,978 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Toots


    My hubby didn't react too well to the pressure either. Seeing as my cycles are so long and I can't predict when I'm going to ovulate, we had a chat and decided to just do the no pants dance every second day regardless, and then if I do ovulate suddenly, we won't miss it. Also it means less pressure on the OH cos he won't know if I'm ovulating or not.

    That's a fab approach, we can't due to shifts dtd every other day. Have to come up with an alternative solution.

    My oh also thinks I'm freaking out and should stop suggesting acupucture etc even though I have endo thinks it will happen when the time is right but it's soooo hard! We are all great!

    Yep mines the same, wants to relax for a few more months, but I'd rather get the ball rolling with homeopathic treatments as I can start now!

    Mine OH was pretty relaxed too at the start (and sure it would happen pretty quickly) but then last month started to take it more seriously and then was very willing to go further. I find it great to be able to discuss things here so I don't have to be constantly talking to him about what we should do.

    I think acupuncture or any alternative therapy is a great idea even for overall well being. I looked into them but the cost put me off as I just don't have to money to invest in it at the moment as they all seem to recommend a course of a few months.

    That's great you are both on the same page. I'm sure mine will be once I'm more regular after coming off contraception. It's so fab as with Google you sometimes feel like your going mad, plus not telling my friends means you could be talking about it endlessly with the hubby's
