I am the proud Mum of a 2 year old and my husband and I are trying for number 2.
I have got to the point where I am getting upset with friends that are pregnant. I am super happy for them but in the same token I really want to have another baby and am getting a bit sad about the situation.
Last night I was supposed to catch up with some friends for dinner. All 3 of them are pregnant. I stopped to check the map and then I realized I was crying and the reason I was crying is that I had realized the majority of the conversation would have been about babies and pregnancy. I text making a lame excuse and came back home crying!!!!!
My husband and I started trying for number 2 in August last year, however if I am honest I was not ready for another one and we hardly had sex to even conceive, I just kept making excuses. It got to the end of the year and I realized this was happening and I started charting my cycle. It is insane still after having our daughter. We had a month off trying in Feb because we had changed our eating considerably and I wanted to loose some weight. Then in April I had the MMR booster and I had to have another month off trying because I had that.
So... really my husband and I have not been trying for another baby for long but I think because I have been thinking about it for a year now I feel like there is something wrong with me. All these people around me are getting pregnant easy as (outsider looking in I know) and I keep thinking there is something wrong with me even though I know we have not given it a good go.
And now I keep putting pressure on the situation worrying that soon my sister will be starting to try for number 2 and I am sure my sister in law will be trying in the next 6 months as well. I don't know how I will take it if both of them get pregnant before me.
Anyway, if you have read all of this you deserve a medal. I realized last night that I am sad about the situation and I don't have anyone to talk to about it because all of my friends are either pregnant, get pregnant first time trying, don't want another one yet or have had more children.
I am feeling really alone at the moment when it comes to this.

I haven't experienced that, Beach Mum, but my BFF did. When she was TTC all of a sudden her clock-work cycle became a bit more sporadic. She thinks it was because she was actually thinking about it and anticipating it, so while she didn't feel stressed the thinking about it was enough to cause it to be late.

I'm finding this month really frustrating. According to my temperature I didn't ovulate this month. (It did rise a bit, but then fell then rose again, then fell etc) I know it is normal to have some months without ovulation, but now I just want my period to arrive so we can start a new cycle that actually has ovulation!]]> Thu, 31 Jul 2014 12:39:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43243&PID=5872200&title=ttc-inbetweeners-beyond-30-up#5872200 <![CDATA[TTC ~ Inbetweeners & Beyond (30 & Up) : This month AF is 4 days late so...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43243&PID=5872154&title=ttc-inbetweeners-beyond-30-up#5872154 Author: Beach mum2b

This month AF is 4 days late so far, last month I had the same but it arrived 3 days late. I took a test last month which was negative.
I have never had this problem before, I have always been like clockwork. My stress is the same as normal and nothing has changed.

Has anyone else experienced this?]]> Wed, 30 Jul 2014 18:32:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43243&PID=5872154&title=ttc-inbetweeners-beyond-30-up#5872154 <![CDATA[TTC ~ Inbetweeners & Beyond (30 & Up) : Fingers crossed for happy news...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43243&PID=5870094&title=ttc-inbetweeners-beyond-30-up#5870094 Author: binklemouse

Hi ladies, I thought I'd just let you know that we are UTD, due Feb 2015. It's all pretty exciting as it's been such a journey with bumps along the way. We're obviously still not in the clear, but fingers crossed and I'm being very careful! Anyway, thought it would be nice to bring some positivity into the forum, to remind others that it can happen... yay!

Good luck with your journeys ladies... fingers crossed for you all.

Hey! I keep meaning to post update in 2WW but that thread runs off with conversations about potential preggy symptoms so there's never a right time to post haha
It was a bit gutting but like the specialist said unlike so many we know what the problem is and everything else is perfect so IVF gets us around our problem....that's the silver lining ...and because of the problem we have it gets public funding too though we'll pay for private rat her than wait...
We have 2 weeks where we can't bd etc while the body heals - I have four incisions around my abdomen from the surgery .... Then I have to get my cycle back in sync then we'll go for an IVF cycle ...so July I guess :)

Fingers crossed for you and IUI ...I hope you get that bfp :) I'll be watching for your good news ]]> Sun, 15 Jun 2014 21:02:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43243&PID=5869449&title=ttc-inbetweeners-beyond-30-up#5869449 <![CDATA[TTC ~ Inbetweeners & Beyond (30 & Up) : Very quiet in here...!Miss Bling,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43243&PID=5869447&title=ttc-inbetweeners-beyond-30-up#5869447 Author: Startingover34

Very quiet in here...!

Miss Bling, just read your post from the other thread. Gutted for you, but at least you know what you need to do now instead of wasting anymore time. When will you be doing your first round of IVF??

AFM, I had my 2nd IUI on Saturday. Clinically everything went perfectly - potentially 3 eggs released, 9 million of DPs best sperm (lol!) and timing perfect. If we don't get our BFP this time, we have to take a break. No more money and we can't afford IVF We have just bought a house, so all our savings went into that. IVF will have to wait another year if it comes to that...

How is everyone else??]]> Sun, 15 Jun 2014 20:13:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43243&PID=5869447&title=ttc-inbetweeners-beyond-30-up#5869447 <![CDATA[TTC ~ Inbetweeners & Beyond (30 & Up) : Great news Junior0!MissBling -...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43243&PID=5867122&title=ttc-inbetweeners-beyond-30-up#5867122 Author: Startingover34

MissBling - health insurance is very handy! I've had 2 laparoscopies to excise endometriosis and had my tonsils out all thanks to insurance! Would have been waiting forever on the public list.

No luck for us this month. SO HARD not to be a crazy paranoid person and think about all the things that are going on inside you.

Hi ladies, thought I'd check in and say hi and see how everyone's doing. I didn't really feel like I was TTC because we went through a six-month period of diagnosing/testing etc. You may remember from my earlier post that I have PCOS and a prolactinoma (benign brain tumour).

I've been on my meds (metformin for PCOS and cabergoline for tumour) for nearly three months now. Have had some great news over the last couple of weeks.

Tested my prolactin levels last week and they were normal (180, normal is 100-500, I was previously at 1100) - yay!

And I did an ov test on Day 21 and that was "possible ov" - yay! (previously I'd always got "No ov")

And my cycle had been getting longer and longer over the last year (had got up to 45 days) but this month it was back to my previous 'normal' of 28. YAY

So now I feel like a 'normal' 35yo TTC! I have some OPKs so will start using them. I feel so excited that I'm now ovulating... even though it doesn't mean that I will get pregnant, it just means that I CAN get pregnant, which is just awesomeness!

I hope everyone else is doing well. ]]> Thu, 15 May 2014 12:49:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43243&PID=5867072&title=ttc-inbetweeners-beyond-30-up#5867072 <![CDATA[TTC ~ Inbetweeners & Beyond (30 & Up) : Best of luck...

Best of luck... We just got an insurance pre approval for the laparoscopy and hysteroscopy so I'm booked in for 10 June. He'll check and fix any scarring and blockages and then hopefully we might be able to skip IUI but at least we'll know everything will be in order once that's done! I'm so glad we figured it out with the insurance... - would hate to have done IUI to find out there was scarring causing the problem!
Talk to the nurse tomorrow - the procedure is right around OV lol so I guess that's June out for us...for good reason though :)   I guess there's the silver lining to hubbies new job and travel - the insurance :)

I had my saline scan yesterday...it wasn't too bad except when they flushed my fallopian tubes - OUCH!! Anyway, my uterus and ovaries all looked OK and my left fallopian tube flushed well, it took a bit to flush the right one as it was slightly stuck down, so now its nice and open :-) Still feeling a bit crampy today but not too bad. I have a blood test on Thursday to check hormones. I think they are looking to see whether a follicle is developing but there was a big one on my left ovary, so looks like I'll ovulate OK this month.

CD 1 for me today I have rung my nurse and booked my scan so so far it goes: start meds on CD3, scan is booked for Monday, bloods next Thursday and then we wait until I ov.

I'm the same as you Miss Bling...was so easy to conceive my first 2 though I was 28 and 29 when I had them, but you have to wonder why things have dramatically changed in 5 years. Anywho, we will do what we have to do, though I suspect if we don't get pregnant after a round of IVF (if it takes that) we probably won't try anymore.

I get the run down on mine on the 23rd from our nurse. I don't know how they're going to run it yet. I do know my meds are Gonal-F which is the injection and there's a good chance they'll get more than one egg so we both had to sign off on being okay with multiples. I'd imagine that means there's a lot of bloods and scans to check things. No idea! haha   I think the start of my next cycle will be 26th. I've got to see the GP next week so I'm going to get her to run Day 21 bloods - the only blood test that hasn't been done through this ordeal. I just want to get progesterone etc. checked after noticing the 8DPO spotting. In the meantime I've gone to the clean green diet and cut out the caffeine and alcohol altogether.   I have everything this works for both of us :-D

CD1 for me too...I'm starting Meds (gonal-f) and IUI end of May - too much on at work for IUI straight into this cycle, plus there's new tests that both me and hubby have to get done, to be able to start, so I decided end of May worked. 23 May I go in to learn injections.   I actually noticed this cycle - at about 8DPO that spotting starts though doesn't come down IYKWIM (checking cervix only -sorry TMI) for me and continues right through till AF. I wonder if that means anything, or nothing. I thought there was a glimmer of hope when I saw that at 8DPO then it just turned into the usual spotting CM by 11DPO ...gah! I have to see the GP to get updated smear - standard smear isn't enough for FA they check other things - so might ask her when I'm there..... Anyway...best of luck and hope you had a great holiday.]]> Sun, 27 Apr 2014 20:57:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43243&PID=5865965&title=ttc-inbetweeners-beyond-30-up#5865965 <![CDATA[TTC ~ Inbetweeners & Beyond (30 & Up) : Hello and welcome to the &#039;newbies&#039;....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43243&PID=5865960&title=ttc-inbetweeners-beyond-30-up#5865960 Author: Startingover34

Hello and welcome to the 'newbies'. I've just got back from holiday. There was plenty of BDing but I took a test today (CD29) and BFN so think I'm out again. Next cycle is meds + IUI. We are giving that 2 shots then IVF. Next cycle will be our 9th or 10th cycle (lost count!). I will be turning 35 in June (eek!)

Hi in-betweeners,
DH and I have officially started TTC. Last week was our first go and it was pretty low key. We were on holiday so got in a bit of BD. I have been trying to keep it fairly light hearted for our first go (not be TOO worried about timing etc and not talk to him too much about the ins and outs, though he has asked a couple of times) but I did use an OPK so I think the timing was about right.
Am trying really hard not to think about it now! Hard when on school holidays... need to keep my mind busy.]]> Sun, 27 Apr 2014 14:45:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43243&PID=5865945&title=ttc-inbetweeners-beyond-30-up#5865945 <![CDATA[TTC ~ Inbetweeners & Beyond (30 & Up) : Hi all!

Hi all! I'm new here, we've been TTC since December with no luck yet. Both DH and I are 32 so I think we belong here. :)

DH is away in Australia for 3 months at the moment on a course so I'm using the time so chart and figure out when I ovulate. My cycles are around 35 days and I've never really taken notice of them before so I need the charting!

Well after my blurb last night, our FA specialist rang today and he wants us to book in for IUI. He thinks there's merit in it - he doesn't think there's blocked tubes. It will be with drugs for best chances. We'll do it in June - May is the most stressful time of my working year and June, July is the quietest :)]]> Wed, 16 Apr 2014 17:56:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43243&PID=5865402&title=ttc-inbetweeners-beyond-30-up#5865402 <![CDATA[TTC ~ Inbetweeners & Beyond (30 & Up) : Hey startingover.

Hey startingover. Great to hear you're having a good break. I got my letter for the Laparoscopy and the scan for the tubes (they're doing the works at once so they can fix anything they find). It says 'up to 5 months' which isn't too long a wait. Our specialist suggested IUI is pointless until that's done but I'm happy knowing that things can be fixed at the same time, and in the meantime we'll keep trying. Our specialist just keeps in touch by phone and we'll keep trucking along till I get the call up. Hubby in the meantime booked us a holiday at Vomo Island in Fiji (google it...OMG! Paradise!) so that was a nice surprise. He works 4 days a week out of Auckland - though has my chart dates to be home around crucial times - of course one long cycle like last and that's all out the window. I also have to work out of Sydney a few weeks over the next couple of months, so I'll take the toddler with me and probably take my mum for babysitting duty - I'm sure she won't complain haha. Hubby will meet us there. I realised the other day - I have a crazy busy life. Full time job, part time hobby business. Solo parenting. No Sleep. Decaf coffee. I'm running on reserves I think haha. No rest for the wicked.
Charting wise, no temps (goes out the window with toddler waking times when its just me), OPK's or anything this time around so no idea if I'm in the TWW. If I'm not, it would be the longest cycle ever LOL.

Have fun on holidays! ]]> Tue, 15 Apr 2014 21:26:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43243&PID=5865362&title=ttc-inbetweeners-beyond-30-up#5865362 <![CDATA[TTC ~ Inbetweeners & Beyond (30 & Up) : Hello all from South Africa!

Hello all from South Africa! I'm having such a relaxing time and I'm right around ovulation time (CD17 today). We have been BD like crazy I guess because we are in holiday mode lol! No meds this cycle but I'm pretty sure my body is doing the right things as I've had plenty of EWCM so fx. If not, we are doing our first round of IUI next cycle but I have to have my Fallopian tubes checked out first with some special scan. I'm going to be closely monitored with blood tests and LH tests etc. I'm praying for a pregnancy in the next few months.

Hope everyone else is well x]]> Tue, 15 Apr 2014 19:09:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43243&PID=5865356&title=ttc-inbetweeners-beyond-30-up#5865356 <![CDATA[TTC ~ Inbetweeners & Beyond (30 & Up) : Wow junior...

I know I have had it relatively easy as we got preg 1st try with our DS but am trying to girl sway as #2 will be our last and am finding already 2 cycles in it is a lot harder.

Geez Junior thanks for sharing, kinda makes me think hmmm maybe I do need to go to the doc, I've been tring now for a year for number one and after each month we end up saying one more month although this time we have put DF onto Vitamenz to see if that helps as up till now it's just been me taking supplements and tests as he already has a 14 yr old, it's just tough for us to both get a day off together through the week to organise an appointment but I guess we will just have to figure that one out!

Hey ladies... I came on here a few months ago but haven't revisited. So I thought I'd share my story...

- started TTC in April 2013, didn't think we'd have any problems ... from a family of six kids with 16 nieces/nephews already so no fertility problems in the family!
- in July, at GP for folic acid prescription and she suggested doing 'the usual TTC tests' (didn't even know these existed)
- had to test for ovulation on Day 21 and was gob-smacked when I found out I wasn't actually ovulating (at this point, had only been a few months so wasn't worried at all).
- six months of numerous testing - blood tests galore, ultrasound, dye into ovaries, MRIs etc. and I now have my diagnosis: PCOS and a prolactinoma

PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome)
Diagnosed through ultrasound and irregular menstruation
Problems: can prevent ovulation (and therefore pregnancy)
Treatment: about to start taking daily Metformin tablets

Prolactinoma
This one blew me away! One of the blood tests revealed I had high prolactin levels and it turns out I have a benign (non-cancerous) 7mm tumour on my pituitary gland in my brain. Yep, a brain tumour! Who knew that when I innocently went in for a folic acid prescription all those months ago, that it would turn out I have a brain tumour! This is stopping me ovulating.
Treatment: tonight I start Cabergoline - I have to take it for two years and then re-test to see how my tumour is. My Endocrinologist hopes that I will begin ovulating again in 2-12 weeks. Fingers crossed.

Anyway... I consider myself extremely lucky.
- Lucky that my GP was so unbelievably onto it that she sent me for tests after just a couple of months trying
- Lucky that under a year after we started TTC, we have a diagnosis and treatment plan
- Lucky that we have a public health system that is surprisingly good (MRI was within one week of referral, Endocrinologist appt was a 4wk wait but I rang to see about a private appt and it was going to be a 12wk wait!)
- Lucky that I have had an amazing GP, Fertility Doctor (Fertility Plus) and Endocrinologist who have all been fantastic to deal with.
- Lucky that I know why I'm not ovulating and it can be treated!

At the beginning of my TTC journey, I could not possibly have conceived this journey!

Anyway, just thought I'd share with people as it may help someone else... :)]]> Fri, 14 Mar 2014 15:30:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43243&PID=5863411&title=ttc-inbetweeners-beyond-30-up#5863411 <![CDATA[TTC ~ Inbetweeners & Beyond (30 & Up) : I am looking forward to joining...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43243&PID=5863020&title=ttc-inbetweeners-beyond-30-up#5863020 Author: binklemouse

Full on AF today spent yesterday in a depressing wallow but today I'm feeling positive again tis a new month and a fresh start for my body (well kinda) lol last night I googled Vitamenz and we decided to buy some of that so just waiting for it to arrive, DF and I were going to go to the doc this month if we weren't successful but it's really hard getting a day off together through the week to make an appointment especially this month. So our plan is to hopefully roster a couple of days off together next month through the week incase this month isn't successful. Lower our stress levels and exercise.
I'm taking Femaprin and blackmores pre concieve and fertility tea and he will take fish oil and Vitamenz or maybe just Vitamenz. Our diet is healthy but will limit the sugar again. And have positive minds fingers crossed it all works

I have my ultrasound tomorrow. Not overly enthusiastic about it - took 3 weeks to get an appointment because I'm not priority Though have to pay $230 for the scan pffftt - which is fair enough with waiting as its hardly life threatening but I kind of drifted off thinking about all the tests. No news from the GP but I guess for completeness she's waiting on the ultra sound... She's done all the tests required for an FA referral so at least if they show nothing we can go straight into getting some help with this seemingly impossible task of making a baby!

Good luck to an island baby Sarah...hope you got some good R&R in

Because I ovulated about 4 days earlier than normal, I don't think our timing was that great this month, though we managed to BD when I got my positive OPK and the day after, but kicking myself now...oh well.

FF has me at 6dpo but I think I'm more like 4, not that it matters much. No symptoms, though my temperatures have been really high, well above cover line. If its another negative this month, we are skipping next month as I may as well NOT be preggers when we go away so I can eat and drink to my hearts content ]]> Tue, 18 Feb 2014 12:11:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43243&PID=5861594&title=ttc-inbetweeners-beyond-30-up#5861594 <![CDATA[TTC ~ Inbetweeners & Beyond (30 & Up) : Smoo i thought i would struggle,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43243&PID=5861587&title=ttc-inbetweeners-beyond-30-up#5861587 Author: *Sara*

Welcome back Sara! Welcome Peridotstar!

I'm exhausted - hubby is working out of Auckland this week so I solo parent my two year old during the week, plus work....and DS of course caught a cold the day his dad leaves..... This morning he was mischief - I had literally a 2minute shower at best while DS ate breakfast - I get out of the shower here laughing and squealing in the backyard and find the dog and toddler have gone out the dog door to play at 7am and that was the start of my day haha

so plodding along here 6dpo - not really thinking about it too much.....no a symptom to be found but that should be about right I guess given nothing would have had a chance to happen yet! :-)
I did find the digital OPK so much easier - no second guessing whether a stupid line was darker or not quite or if I'd missed it altogether.... and then it locks once its positive so you can't test yourself silly after OV :-)

Hope everyone has a great day - so good to see so many in the TWW or about to get there :-D

Monkeydee I did an OPK about 10am and it was definietly +ive, just did another one now and it was -ive. But I had a definite temp drop yesterday, and then a rise today, so I'm guessing OV was yesterday or today. Will hopefully get another BD in tonight just in case

Ah back to reality! I hope everyone is well and us 6-month gals are going to have a great month! I'm hoping for an island baby as i was fertile over there No OPKs/temping for me this month so Ov would have been be anytime between CD12->CD16, going by CM (can't ignore that haha) i'm thinking CD14.

Thanks miss_bling, that seems so much easier than the line ones. I have enough for this cycle, but if no luck then I will definitely get some for next time.

and this is what you get for a positive OPK My OPK CD15    In the days leading up that smiley face flashes. On the days where there's no sign of being fertile its just an empty circle.   It said to start testing CD8 which for me was too early given I know I OV around CD14-16 but I guess their instructions consider the person using them doesn't know about OPK/OV     You just test once a day, first thing in the morning. Once you get the solid smiley the device is locked for two days - so you can't retest, and it resets for your next cycle after that :)   The test monitors estrogen and the LH so you get to see the cycle build up for popping the egg :)]]> Wed, 12 Feb 2014 10:24:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43243&PID=5861159&title=ttc-inbetweeners-beyond-30-up#5861159 <![CDATA[TTC ~ Inbetweeners & Beyond (30 & Up) : I haven&#039;t seen the advanced...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43243&PID=5861157&title=ttc-inbetweeners-beyond-30-up#5861157 Author: miss_bling

miss_bling those digital OPKs sound fun! Are they very expensive?? Where did you get them from? Yay for the +ive OV, great that your DH is here this time. I am the same, looking forward to some well timed BDing this month with DH not away anywhere.
I guess they always say no news is good news, but it wouldn't hurt to give them a ring to find out.

Got my positive OV on the digital OPK this morning...yeehaa!!!   The digital OPK is so easy - once a day, first thing in the morning and you eventually get a solid smiley face - which for me was dead on CD15 for me when last month the sticks had me unsure but FF said CD14 which was awfully early - and then hubby was away at the crucial time!!
