Thread 4: Ttc without ease, loopy length cycles, post pill poas and everything in between!

I'm not sure about the dpo question but it definitely sounds like you're in with a chance there Luci ! Have you started taking AC yet?

A big positive for me is that taking AC for the last few days has brought on AF and it's really heavy so I'm hoping and praying that it clears out any retained products from my miscarriage and thins down my womb lining!

Morning everyone.

HighHopes, good to see that you are trying to stay positive about everything. Andif you feel like it you always know where to come for a rant, we all love a good rant!

So this is all a first for me, but think I had my peak opk yesterday morning, still high this morning but not as much as yesterday, so guessing it will be on its way down now. Dtd Friday and last night, no idea if that's enough but they say the little swimmers can last a few days once their in there so fx. Guess I'm on the tww now then? Would I be 1dpo now or do you wait until the opks are very low again? Xx

Thanks Cookie I'm just trying to see the positives in all this but struggling at the mo. Anyway, enough about me!
Who's next to test??? X

So sorry to hear you're going through all this high hopes, you poor thing. You sound like such a strong woman & I admire how you're dealing with all of this! I know it must be even tougher for you if you're keeping it mostly to yourself in 'real life', but we're here for you anytime Mrs! Hugs, chocolate, wine xx

Haha thanks Johno it's nice to just have people to talk about this with. I've not really told many people in real life as I don't wants to come across all 'woe is me' but I am feeling pretty down about it all right now but hopefully soon we'll have some positive news! X

Hey highhopes. I'm really sorry to hear your asshole,shit,fuck,wank news. I can't really offer you any advice, but just say that we're all here for you, even if you just need to rant about everything. Fx everything comes around quick so you know what the next step is. Once you have all the facts I'm sure you'll feel better and you and your chap will be able to take control of the rest of your ttc journey xxx

Thanks Moonlight, I just wanted this m/c to be over so we could move on and start ttc again but oh well.
AF is definitely here (very heavy) after only a couple of days of taking the AC, I also have really bad cramps so here's hoping it pushes out any retained product so I don't need any further operations !!

Congrats shoney! What a nice suprise for you! And just goes to show symptom spotting only drives us crazy!

Ah bobo that makes sense! Fx for you that this was it then and now properly in to the 2ww!!

Oh highhopes I'm so sorry you're having such a shit time with this all. Hopefully your appointment comes through really soon and everything gets sorted. I hope you don't need to go through any more pain. And to be fair if it takes a month or two for your next appointment it'll be almost 12 months anyway won't it so it's not really a lie, maybe just a little exaggeration!

Cd10 for me and still nothing to report. I thought I had some ov pains yesterday (which I've never had before) in left side and had a small but of ewcm but negative opk and bbt still low so don't think it's happened yet hopefully gearing up today/tomorrow. Really don't want it to happen when I'm away with my friend this weekend.

That's true, I have to think positive. I just wished it was better news!

Well hopefully it won't take too long. I would defo lie, say 18 months!!! At least you know now and are on the road to getting sorted. Xx

Well I guess I should have a gyno appointment in the next couple of weeks if its urgent, I really hope I don't have to have another op though as it was really painful! Then when that's all clear I can get referred to the endo to be prescribed medication. So maybe another month or two of not ttc.

The GP also asked how long we had been ttc and I said just over 10 months, he said when I see the endocrinologist I should lie and saw over 12 months as that should get things fast tracked! :O

Oh HighHopes really sorry to hear that. What sh*t news... How long do you think it will take for you to get sorted? Hugs to you 🤗

Well spoke to DH and he said we will Defo do it tonight. He is clued up more than I give him credit for. He said well if you are ovulating now our dtd on Friday will count, as the days before count. Opk looks majorly positive to me this morning, or am I getting too excited?! Xx

Congratulations shoney so many BFP's lately!!
You definitely still have time with that OPK Luci !
Just came back from my Gp appointment with all round bad news. My scan showed that I definitely have pcos with cysts on both ovaries. It also showed that the lining of my womb was thickened which means I could still have retained products from my miscarriage. He's referred me to a gynocologist quite urgently as he said it can cause scar tissue and in worse cases make you infertile. I may need another D&C or an invasive procedure so he said I should stop ttc for now. When that's all clear he will refer me to an endocrinologist to discuss treatment for Pcos as that also makes it more difficult to conceive and increases your risk of miscarriage.
I just feel like all the odds are against us

Opk is darker again this morning so there is always tonight. Fx 😔

Didn't dtd last night, feeling quite let down actually 😔.

Wow what a day!! Congrats Claire and Shoney! Lovely to feel those positive vibes from the thread.

Bobo that looks promising - fx for you this time.

Luci I had a similar problem with DH last cycle - I started things up as soon as he woke up in the morning and he seemed a lot more keen to dtd. I also made a move on him in the kitchen one evening - seemed that shaking up time/location made it more fun for him! Don't know if you've tried anything like that?

I'm halfway through my tww. Really trying not to symptom spot but I have had sore boobs and nausea for over a week. Also had 8 positive opk's in a row! Ran out of tests so gave up poas for this cycle. I'm trying to hold out testing until Friday and luckily will be busy at work to take my mind off things.

Wow congrats Shoney! This seems like it's fast becoming a lucky thread! Hope the luck and Bfps keep rolling in!

Yey super dark OPK Bobo! Your egg must be teetering on the edge now and about to pop! I've a good feeling about this cycle for you!!

Luci your OPK looks great too. Hopefully a bit darker in the morning then ov shouldn't be too far away.

Cd 5 for me and AF has buffered off now. Bought some more b6, progesterone cream and some OPKs! Bring on cycle 11! Xx

Ok so just did another one and it's darker than the one I did earlier, I'm pretty sure of it.

Only thing is, I've literally been on DH for the past couple of days and think he might feel under a bit of pressure... He was too tired last night and He couldn't 'finish' when we tried this morning. So feel bad pestering him. Typical to happen when it looks like I'm getting a surge!! 😡

HELP!!

I'll do another one in a bit and see what that ones like, and again tomorrow. I'm just worried I've missed it as ewcm was thurs fri and sat. Anyway nothing I can do about that now... I'll see if they get darker and if they do I'll jump DH!! Thanks BoBo 😘

Your opks are super dark!! Go girl! All these bfp's have given me hope! Xx

So I randomly decided to do an opk just now and it's the darkest I have ever got, almost positive (pic attached)

Over past 3 days have had ewcm and boobs feel bigger and bit tender. Ewcm seems to be gone today really.

Im now worried that I've missed it! 😳 Dtd Tues and Fri. Dh wasn't up it last night 😡

I'll do another one tomorrow afternoon and see what it's like. Ahhhhhhh!

Haha! I exercised this morning too. Tried lifting heavy weights to try and strain her out!😂

Yaaay congratulations Shoney! xx

Two BFP's in one day! Aren't we lucky :D:D:D

I'm not arsed about a bfp at the moment just want a visit from AF!!!
Was even considering doing exercise this morning ...

Ahhh congratulations Shoney! Xx

Big congratulations, Shoney! Really happy for you! x
