It's staying light longer and we are taking the opportunity to get well and truly upduffed, yes that's right, three BFPs in one day! That's the May bus for you.

Carrot - I'm afraid I missed your update. I am so so sorry. I really hope you're ok (well as ok as you possibly can be). Look after yourself x x x

Carlton, I laughed out loud when I read you last post! You are so funny! I wish I was your colleague you could tell me all about your EWCM!!! Haaaa! I have to admit I talk about ttc WAY too much! I even tried to engage my dad! He was having none of it and left the room in a hurry mumbling something about leaving the iron on...
Carrot so glad u are feeling better!
Brooke, don't shut out your DH as he would want to support you! I think you are so sweet to think about his feeling and worry about him, but you need his love and support, let him in x
So I was right, I've been offered 21 day bloods. I told DH it was an mot. Which it is basically! I'm having swabs too (? Infection) due to my spotting which the doc was a bit concerned about... Watch this space!

Just me then clearly! pulpi I wasn't really checking as such, it was just when I wiped

dizzy
Pleasure wish! Keep us up to date of what you decide to do!

carrot such a crap experience but pleased that you're being looked after well.

I'm just happy that I'm not the only checking my cervix during bathroom breaks at work!

Carlton I must admit I've never had the urge to do that. Can you imagine the look on someone's face if you were to tell them that?!

Carrot glad you're not in pain. I hope the physical stuff is quickly over for you. Hope you've been able to get some rest as you've been through the a lot physically and emotionally.

Glad you aren't in pain carrot

Does anyone else get random urges to tell people things about ttc? Today I went to the loo, and on the way back to my desk I had a really strong urge to lean over one of my colleagues shoulders and exclaim 'egg white cervical mucus!!'

Might just be me

Wow thank you auto!!! You've really helped! I am currently waiting to see the GP to see what they suggest... Don't know if my age might help me get a fertility referral...? Not sure how it works. But thought I'd see if I can get 21 day bloods

No pain - just like a very light period now. I'm bloody knackered though

carrot how do you feel? Hope you aren't still in pain x

Here you all are. Took me ages to find the stealth thread

Congratulations pulpi and teenie

So sorry you're having a rough time brooke. They can scan and see if the yolk sac/fetal pole is developing at 5-6 weeks but won't get a heartbeat until 6-7 weeks so they might not do a very early scan.

Still waiting for my MC bleed to finish, on antibiotics, more blood tests on Friday and then hopefully I can start working out my cycle again. I have ov strips and the promise of being looked after by my amazingly lovely EPU

You're a mine of info plum. I took epo this cycle from cd1 to cd9. I usually ovulate on cd13 and on cd11 today. Had watery cm yesterday but I'm actually hoping for loads of ewcm and no delay in ov. I'm not asking for much so hopefully it won't mess me about!

wish
Firstly b6 is unlikely to bring ov forward. It can help lengthen your lp though.
10 days is on the short side but not really bad, and with a lucky early implantation you could easily hold a bean. Ideally you'd like 12days. I would take 50mg b6 to start with (make sure if you take a b complex that it contains at least 50 of b6 in particular otherwise take a separate b6 50mg and then top up with a general b complex or a b12 supplement. Folic acid and b12 often come together in one pill, so you could to that of you didn't fancy the b complex. Either will do but the b12 is important to have while you take b6. Try for two months and of no lp change up to 100mg. 200mg per day is not recommended by UK fertility people.
B6 works for some people but I should add that I think it made little or no difference for me. I think I added one day with it, which would be fine for you. My lp was five days only so one day made no difference to me. It will clearly for you though so I'd try it. :)
Soy isoflavones function similarly (but sometimes contrary to too!!) to clomid and can bring your ov forward or trigger ov. I took it last cycle and it brought my lh surge forward/triggered ov by six days. However you should actually only take it if your cycle is often anovulatory or irregular and your ov is very late and not regular. It is common for people with regular cycles who take it to ov later than normal. Maybe try the b6 first. From what I read I'd stay clear of agnus. It messes with stuff more than helps it. soy usually only works on the cycle you take it whereas if it works at all agnus can mess you around for longer.
FYI bringing your ov forward doesn't always result in a longer lp. It didnt for me at all, it only shortened my cycle in total. Mostly they work independently from each other and not as part of a team. Eg your cycle won't stay 30days and your ov shorten and lp lengthen accordingly. Of your lp lengthens your cycle may end up as 32 days; if your ov shortens your cycle might end up as 27 days. Iyswim?
If you're interested in soy look up the old soy isoflavones thread with kitty's xpost about what days to take it on. Don't do it rashly though.
I don't know much about epo. I took it it last cycle and this cycle and didn't notice an increase in ewcm. In fact this cycle I had less than usual. A small amount of people appear to ov later on epo, but this is only hearsay and i haven't done the research to know if this is common.

So just back from a doctors app, had results back from 21day blood test. It seems my progesterone levels slightly low, could this be the reason for TTC for 10 months with no joy. DP had appointment for S/A last week, need to wait for those results to come back then doctor will refer us to fertility clinic. Things are finally moving forwards

Sorry I missed that bit carlton! woohoo just in time with the ewcm.

Yes dizzy I did! I did update last night straight after to let you all know haha

How are you doing? Did you say you were ov this Friday? If so I believe we are cycle buddies sort of cos ovia is predicting my most fertile day as Friday too

Hugs to you Brooke. Sounds like your having such a hard time. Sure your husband would rather know and be able to support you through this. I understand what you mean though.

Brooke I echo what everyone else is saying. Don't go through this alone.

Carlton did you get to dtd?

Ah brooke please tell your dh! You shouldn't have to go through this alone and he can support you through it. If it was him in pain would you want him to tell you?
Honestly, if the pregnancy doesn't go well you will need him to talk to. You will feel so much better once it's out in the open.
Let us know what the doctors say, my fingers are still crossed for you xxx

Ahhh Brooke my lovely, you sound like you're having such a hard time of it. In my first pregnancy I cramped for weeks and weeks. Was sure I was going to get AF but it never came. I was told at my booking appt that it is just everything inside started to stretch and change for your little one growing.

You're not a horrible person hun but I'm not sure if keeping it from your dh is a good idea, we all need support no matter what the outcome. I understand what you're saying and you trying to protect him but I'm sure he would rather know and be able to support you? Even if it is just be bringing you a hot water bottle and a cup of tea (decaf) every now and then.

With regards to scans, I think it is 6 or 7 weeks for them to be able to see and hear the babies heart beat but I know some EPUs won't scan you until 8 weeks so you may need to pay for a private one if you want one before 8 weeks. I would speak to your GP again tonight and see what they say. FX the pain is from the UTI and unrelated to your little bean. Let us know how you get on. X

teenie how far along do you need to be for them to be able to see something on the scan? I'm still cramping :( have just rang my surgery, they're fabulous! And really suit working people like myself, a doctor is calling me between 6pm and 7pm tonight, I'll explain the pain to her and we'll go from there. I don't feel like myself at all, they're affecting me at work and home, I feel so awful because I'm coping alone too as I haven't told dh as I don't want to break his heart :( I'm a horrible person aren't I? How can I tell him that I'm pregnant but don't think it's going to work out?
