TTC #1 Thread 15. Don't. Trust. The. Boobs. ( . )( . )

Hello orchard was wondering how you were getting on. What's the docs take on why you're missing periods? Take it they've considered pcos? Sorry if I'm asking obvious / stupid question here. Hope she turns up soon and you can get back on track. Are you opking?

Sorry I've been Mia, I had to step away from the thread as I was feeling a bit up and down about it all.
Still no AF (two periods missed now and I am usually super regular)
Negative hpt
Negative blood test Hcg
Full hormone profile done, all normal.
DH checked out all fine, semen analysis etc.
WHERE IS AF!! Come here you bitch!!!
first gp I saw was a woman and was very helpful and understanding, second gp I saw was a man and did a lot of concerned head tilting like I had just been let of the asylum.
I may end up in an asylum...
Come back AF, I didn't mean it when told you to fuck off for nine months... please?....

lovely that is very sad to hear.

Oh lovely you weren't to know. It's polite and totally normal to ask that. How utterly heartbreaking for her, poor lady.

Teehee, go Marmite!

So something just happened that made me feel like a right bitch, it couldn't be helped or foreseen, but you'll get what I mean in a minute...

A neighbour of mine has been quite obviously pregnant for a while now. She walks past my house to go pick her kids up from school and we often chat if I'm out working in the garden. Today she walks by very obviously not pregnant anymore so I ask her how the new baby's doing. It died....

It's just one of those things that makes you feel so bad for them. All the things that life can throw at you... Suddenly my situation doesn't seem so bad.

Heheh thanks all for the cheerleading! I'm just on way home from work and some flirty texts would suggest DH is feeling lots better and is on board too!!

Sorry about AF purple, me too, wish I'd come off the pill much earlier to get handle on cycles.

Hope you're feeling less anxious Jem

How are some of you older thread members doing? Hep, Kat, island, ever? Skip??? Hope you're all alright.

Sounds promising snow and 5tar! Fx for more bfps...

Thanks Hank, I've got some breathing exercises on my phone that help. Usually a stiff drink helps too...

Sorry you're still waiting kwick, any signs she might be on her way ?

Snarky don't blame you, I would rather see AF than bfns. Tilting the stubborn white sticks for the glimpse of a second line is too depressing!

Marmite go go go!!

Sorry AF got you purple, on and up to next cycle

6 DPO for me and still got sore boobs. No other symptoms noticed think anxiety clouding all! Least schroedinger TWW yet!

Good luck marmite.

I am out of limbo, mystery of the BFN solved - AF is here. If there's one thing I wish I had told my pre-TTC self it would be to track before you start then you might have a clue what's going on.

Good Luck marmite
We're all here (virtually) cheering you on!! Ha ha That's a little creepy actually!!

Haha thanks Sky, I will be leaving work sharp tonight and hope DH is feeling a lot better!!

Go for it marmite!!

Gaaaah EWCM!!! EWCM!!!

First time I've noticed it! Want to go home from work right now and jump DH, severe conjunctivitis and cold or not!!

Oh well i am gonna keep hoping until the 16th then :p
Is vaginal ultrasound not on the belly so i was hoping he would be able to see

nicky I wouldn't expect to be able to see much. It's around 3 weeks after conception that anything is visible. Probably a bit too early at 10dpo.

Tha ks for the response emmalady
Will go to the gynecologist tomorrow for yearly smear test and ultrasound
I ll be 10dpo tomorrow do you think he will be able to see if i concieced or not ?
He was able
To see egg last year so i am guessing he will be able to see if anything has implanted ?

sky congratulations! So good to see a bfp, just need a few more (hopefully mine!).

nicky 39 is good. Over 30 7 do roughly (7days before af is due) confirms ovulation. Doesn't predict anything more but is definitely a good sign.

In terms of seeing GP they cannot refer until 6 months over 35 or one year if younger but depending on the GP lots will arrange bloods earlier especially if you ask nicely or if you have irregular cycles / have a reason to think you are not ovulating. Might take a couple of appointments but worth a go.

kava syringe sounds interesting but you still need a fresh batch of goo?!

snow hope it is implantation. Good luck.

I'm feeling a bit sick today which is almost certainly because it's silly hot and I can't sleep but struggling not to convince myself it's a sign (way too early anyway) grr!

snarky Hello, step away from the pee sticks, slowly, with your hands up. It's for your own good!!!

Bloody hell kwick I can't believe your gp said that to you! What is wrong with some people?! I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this nonesense, hopefully you'll be back on track very soon.

Waiting for af to appear, she's due tomorrow if the last few months are anything to go by. Trying to stay far away from the temptation of the pee sticks, can't be dealing with that kind of disappointment

Best of luck and fx for those on 2ww or twot (two weeks of torture).

News from the front: nothing much to report. Still no af and I am now almost 7 weeks post surgical management of miscarriage. I have a clinic appointment on Monday AM to get more DHEA and then going to GP to get advice on no af, ask if they have back test results on miscarriage, and ask about my cough which has lingered for a long time (may be an allergy?). I hope I do not get GP who told me in Holland natural IVF is when a country girl gets drunk, goes to Amsterdam and sleeps with a stranger. I tell you I am ready to kick some ass if I do... Ninja kwick will appear well I will at least make a formal complaint about any inappropriate comments

Ahh thanks bluebird

I'm not using it to temp to time just wanted to confirm if I was ovulating. Shit thing is that I think I've only managed to confirm that I didn't ovulate.

Just gonna keep on trucking though. My temps are rising but it's defo not a shift. 0.1 degree a day basically post O.
Had a moment of thinking temping was pretty ace but I'm already over it. Think I'll do a few months to try and learn more about my cycle but that's then I'm going cruise back Ito blissful ignorance.

Sorry for holiday anxiety sucha you got any sure fire ways to manage it? Outdoors? Meditation? Yogerrrr?

Thanks wingingit! Fertile week over today so luteal phase extension plan go go go!

Both sounding promising 5tardusty and snowdog! Fingers crossed!

Still no dtd tonight. DH still feeling rubbish and is in a foul mood to go with it. Ggrr men are so bloody awful at being ill....

Good...not egged

Wtf autocorrect? Haha

hank I temped for a few months before getting bored and giving it up. What day did you get the positive opk? Your temp rise should come a day or two after. The opk is positive when lh signals ovulation will be occurring in the next 12-48 hours (ish). The temp rise only comes after ovulation has already occurred due to the rise of progesterone. This is why if you go off temping alone, by the time you see a rise, it's too late that month. Temping is egged for establishing a pattern and seeing if/when you ovulated but not for trying to time it right that month. At least this is how I understand it. Hope that helps!

Oh snowdog yes! I hope it's ib!!! I'm going to join you on the crazy train and hopefully test day will be here before you know it!!!

Hi all! Hope everyone is doing ok? Congrats to sky, it's the first bfp in ages isn't it? Well I had my IUI last week and am now 6dpiui and I have had a bit of pink spotting and mild af cramps all afternoon. Dare I get excited thinking it could be implantation?!?? Or has Clomid messed my body up? I'm about ready to board the crazy train for the last week of the 2ww.
