@BambiOnIce80 I fully agree with the acupuncturist, I don't see the point in OPKs unless you've been trying a hella long time! (Sorry but I just don't!) it's added stress on your body which we just don't need as ttc is tough enough as it is!
Speaking of... £7 odd for one single frer!!! I feel robbed 🙎🏼‍♀️ it better give me the result I want haha

BambiOnIce80 · 03/09/2018 17:32

You've been through so much in the last 6 weeks @Delilah7 that you have to be run down and that'll leave you wide open to an infection. It's good that the docs are keeping an eye on you and re-testing to make sure your results are going back to normal 👍

I'm alright thanks 🙂 Had my acupuncture appointment (2 now, actually) and he gave me a bit to ponder over 🤔 You all know how I feel about the whole "just try and relax and it'll happen" shtick, but the acupuncturist made some good points about the OPK's and the pressure I'm putting on my body. I know from the OPK's that I ovulate on CD15 or 16, so why bother using them and making the process more clinical? He did say "please don't punch me in the face" when he suggested throwing the OPK's away 😂

So, I'm not going to bother testing this month (😱😉), DTD in my fertile window, stick with the fertility lube and hope for the best. I must admit I do feel a lot better for giving my mind a little break from the TTC obsessing. I don't think for a second it'll help me get pregnant, but it's nice not to feel as stressed 🙂

@BambiOnIce80 I'm ok. Wanting to start trying but waiting this period to finish!! You ok?! Xx

@MrsReader spoke to my doctor today and I'm ok to try again as long as bleeding stops in the normal amount of time which it is meant to!

@BambiOnIce80 😂😂 ooooh be a geek! They need me to test them again to make sure it's decreasing or whether it's staying the same as they aren't actually sure I have one! I don't drink so the pancreas is abit strange 😂 my dad also had some bad news about his heart, he had a heart monitor on and it spiked so much they said they were surprised his heart didn't stop and not start again due to his low rhythm he has! He's on beta blockers now so :( waiting for his MRI. I get bored of all the negativity. Gimme a baby for some positivity in my life 😍 x

Holy actual f😮k @Delilah7*! 😨 I really picked a crap time to take a break from the thread, didn't I?! So sorry you had to go through that! The high white cell count is a good indicator of infection, which ties in with your pancreas being inflamed (I test blood and interpret the results for a living, so apologies if I go white-coated nerd on you 🤓). No wonder you were throwing up! How are you feeling now? Is the infection under control?

MrsReader · 03/09/2018 16:53

Aww you've had a horrid time of it @Delilah7 ☹️ did dr say you're ok to try again or do you have to wait a while?

Delilah7 · 03/09/2018 16:42

@MrsReader just want to start trying again now I'm bored!!

@BambiOnIce80 probably a good idea hun, I couldn't forget about you! It went INSANE. I got rushed to a and via blue light ambulance. My period came and I was in so much pain. They thought maybe some of the baby was left and that was making it difficult. Turned out my pancreas is inflamed and white blood cells are high which would normally mean PREGNANCY. :( but I'm not so that sucks :( want to hurry up and try again xx

Thanks for the new thread @Delilah7 🙂 How're you doing lovely? I've been taking a few days off from obsessing, so I'm a bit behind with what's been going on with the thread! How was the doctors appointment on Friday?x

MrsReader · 03/09/2018 16:25

Thanks for adding me @Delilah7. I keep checking every day to see if we have any new BFP's 🤞🏻🍀

MrsC87 · 03/09/2018 16:18

I'm due weekend of 15th/16th and it's hubbys birthday on the 16th- I'd just love to get a BFP for his birthday! @Lougg

Delilah7 · 03/09/2018 15:16

@FlapJackered no problem my darling! It's because we have too much fun! I am too hung. This period is lightening up so... could be soon! Xx

@Lougg honestly can't deal with them! Xx

BabySquid · 03/09/2018 15:14

@FlapJackered I feel you!! I was planning on doing some light boxing this morning... but bed wouldn't let me leave 😂

Lougg · 03/09/2018 15:09

@Delilah7 😂😂😂

FlapJackered · 03/09/2018 15:07

Thanks @Delilah7 you lovely lady!
These threads go like lightening!

I am wishing away the days until fertile week now. Need to start doing some exercise as that was my cycle-shortening PoA this month, but bed is just too good!

Delilah7 · 03/09/2018 15:05

@Lougg very! However with my bitch of a brother and sister I'm thinking I only want one! X

OP posts:
Lougg · 03/09/2018 15:00

@Delilah7 exactly! That's the plan anyway. We want to extend into the loft to make ours a four bed too. FX for some babies soon to fill both our houses! The thought of rattling around in it is depressing...

Delilah7 · 03/09/2018 14:53

@MrsC87 no problem love xxx

@stormtrooperjulian of course!

@Lougg how exciting!!! more bedrooms for babies 😍 we moved into a 4 bed and I imagine all the time the babies!

@sunshine1987we just talk to much 😂😂😂

@ttcat32 no prob!!! Xxx

OP posts:
ttcat32 · 03/09/2018 14:44

Thanks @Delilah7 xxx

@bettyhop hope you are feeling a bit better now xx

@MrsR16 I'll be checking in again as soon as I'm home from work 😂 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

sunshine1987 · 03/09/2018 14:41

A new thread already? That went quick!

Lougg · 03/09/2018 14:40

@Delilah7 thanks! The house is a 3 bed victorian terrace. But we're leaving behind a tiny flat so it will feel positively palatial!

@MrsC87 I've got everything crossed both due 14th so still a bit of a wait. When you due?

stormtrooperjulian · 03/09/2018 14:37

Hi all!

Thanks for adding me @Delilah7

MrsC87 · 03/09/2018 14:36

Thanks for adding me @Delilah7
I'm 2 dpi @Lougg so are at similar points in our cycle. When is Af due?
That would be fabulous for you! FX lovely.

I'm super tired today, got the day off to look after my nieces and I've had to have a nap 💤😴

Delilah7 · 03/09/2018 14:31

@Lougg ahhhh!!! That could be exciting! What's the new house like?! :)

OP posts:
Lougg · 03/09/2018 14:22

Wow I can't believe how quickly we filled that last thread!

Only on 3 DPO so really wishing the days away. Also waiting to exchange on our house. So I'm a big ball of nervous tension at the moment. Can't deal with all the waiting!

Currently looking like completion day and AF/BFP will be the same day! Could be the best day ever or super emotional and stressful! 😬

shelleybear0313 · 03/09/2018 14:04

Hey mrsr16! Have you tested yet? We were both due af today? Xxxx
