TTC FIRST BABY THREAD NO.5!

Congrats @rosti x

😂😂😂 that's made my day @Delilah7

Congrats @rosti that's fabulous news!! 💕
Welcome to all the newbies!!
Sorry to hear some of you are feeling a bit low today, sending virtual hugs!
So DH and I have decided to attempt dtd every other day the whole cycle this time round. It started last night! Wish us luck as we'll need a lot of energy lol!! x

I had my coil out April 2016, fell pregnant September 2017 mc 1st November last year and haven't conceived since. Anyone have any luck after a year of a mc? Every month me and my partner get so upset that we haven't managed to conceive again 😔😢

Hi, new to the site and hope it is okay to join the group.

Came off the pill in July and have been ttc since, but no luck yet. Started temping this month, and have been doing ovulation tests but they seem to be inconclusive.

Have been reading the forums and websites for a while (thank you everyone that posts advice) - have been trying to follow advice!

Now on CD15; not had any positive OPKs this months but my temperature has dropped down (which I think suggests I may have O'd, but new to this tempting lark!).

Hope everyone else is having a good October trying to conceive.

@flapjackered I don't know if this helps but I had a 10cm cyst removed from my fallopian tube when I was 16. But I don't think they remove them unless they are causing issues. I had to wait 2 months for surgery so they obviously didn't see it as something urgent, and I was in a lot of pain with strange bloating too and was even hospitalized for a few days it was so painful, and they still didn't operate there and then, I got sent home again to wait for my surgery the next month.
Funnily enough, at the time they thought I was pregnant! as the doctor grilled me before I was scanned and I had to insist I was, at the time, definitely still a virgin! Obviously the scan revealed i was telling the truth.
Try not to worry too much, but if you do think it's a problem, challenge them and don't be afraid to insist on having it removed. It's your body! Tell them to explain it to you fully and explain your worries fully, and don't be afraid to state you are still concerned if they aren't able to reassure you.they should be able to weigh up the risks and benefits of different treatment options with you at the very least, even if that's just a choice between remove it or monitor it.

@FlapJackered maybe this is the case have been using the app Flo to track and usually my AF is like clockwork. If not here in a couple of days is it worth testing again do you think?

Sending positive thoughts your way and hoping you can get a second opinion from a specialist, have a friend who had a this too and has gone on to have no ovary issues and row beautiful children since.

@Delilah7 Thanks darling. It's just the size that worries me. I think you're right, I should probably just trust that they know what they are talking about. Just feeling a bit low today so I think probably blowing things out of proportion in my mind. Are you feeling any better?

Hi @MrsMcnulty20 - this was the first scan so not sure if it's grown or not. Difficult to know what to do!

@Crossfitgirl yes my doc said it should be 7 days before your period is due, but she said a few days here or there won't make a difference.

@CCW1988 Welcome! It sounds like maybe you ovulated later than you thought, which means it could be too early for a bfp.

New to this thread but wanted some guidance. Me and my pattern have been TTC and I am now 17 DPO and my AF is 2 days late, just tested and got a BFN. Should I take another test or is this one likely to be accurate. My body has been feeling so different, bloated, tired, heavy and dull aches in my stomach for the last week or so that I was convinced I was going to get a positive. Thanks.

@crossfitgirl yeah that would make sense. They just check your levels to see if you’ve ovulated so when I explained I had a short lutheal phase they weren’t worried just wanted to check everything was how it should be at that point. I thought it was 7 days from ovulation but turns out it’s the other way round x

Thanks for that @sunshine1987 that's really helpful, my last 2 cycles were 27 days and my doc did suggest I go on day 20, rather than 21 so that would make sense if it's to be done 7 days before I'm due. maybe that's what I'll do.

Congratulations @rosti! Amazing news! And thank you for giving us all a little breakdown of what you did! were you trying for long? Xxx

@FlapJackered do you know how long you’ve had it? I wonder if they’ll look at how quick it’s growing. Sorry to hear

@KatBeCool thanks. I’m not sure what my cycles are like as I’ve been on the pill for the last 14 years, came off in August, which is frustrating, I have no idea what’s going on. Thanks, I will try and hold off testing - I did say I’d wait until Friday, but that hasn’t happened yet!

@ValidUser thank you! Mania is definitely a word I can relate to - I don’t know what’s come over me! Nice to know it’s not just me!

@ValidUser oh really?! I just did the idiotic thing and googled it and apparently if they grow at that size it can damage the ovary. That's what I am worried about. 😕 did you get yours checked often?

@FlapJackered I've had a cyst about that size for 18 years. Apparently it's all good.

And if they thought there was anything malignant looking they'd see you far sooner.

(Trying to help, may not be succeeding. I mean well.)

I just spoke to the docs to confirm it was 6mm and not 6cm and they just rang me back and she said it was actually 6cm. 😭
Now I am concerned they don't want to see me until March, what if it grows and damages my ovary?
I might try and get a referral to a specialist.

@MrsMcnulty20 welcome. IF what you had was implantation bleeding, then you need to give it at least 3-4 days before it'll show up on the tests. Don't waste tests, just wait. Are your cycles normally regular and how long are they? That can be telling too.

From me I mean.
