Morning everyone Grin

I think I'm 8dpo today but I really don't know as I never got a positive opk. I did get ewcm followed by spotting though and my darkest opk was about 8 days ago. So clueless really Blush

I had really regular pinchy/sharp pains low down on Saturday eve and Sunday all day so of course have convinced myself that must be implantation! Also regular vivid dreams where I give birth to a 14lb boy! Or twins!

Argh surely by cycle 18 I should've stopped incessant symptom spotting and just chill!

Military husband has some last minute leave on Thursday! The day AFTER 'flo' app says I ovulate!! I will be doing ovulation test at home to confirm this!! Let's hope we DTD and are successful lol. Hoping to fall pregnant next month, if not this month! Sending baby dust to everyone 💕 fingers crossed for us lovely ladies.

I have quit smoking and taking pregnacare tablets but currently have shingles :(

Xxx

CD1
TTC №1
Cycle: 1ish

After a brief attempt at TTC last month, we both caught the lurgy which didn't budge for over two weeks, so kinda put stop to anything. My cycles can be a bit all over the place, so I was surprised to come on today, and expected to have a delay due to the lurgy.

Wishful30 · 22/10/2018 20:05

@Chanel05 due to ovulate fri/sat so bfp due weekend after that 🤞🏻

ReginaPhalange89 · 22/10/2018 19:54

Really had my hopes up that we'd conceived on our 1st month (happened with our other 2!) But no such luck. Hope November is a luckier month ! It's our 5 year anniversary so that's be nice

@Lubilu28 DTD with socks on?? 😂😂
So doing that!

I'm sure I have flaxseed somewhere. If not, I'm ferrying some tomorrow. Due to ovulate Friday/Saturday.
Got a pineapple in the fridge which I need to cut up and actually eat 👀

Lubilu28 · 22/10/2018 18:29

@Wishful30 sounds like a absolute nightmare!! I’m sure u have but have u looked into taking flax seed? Apparently can help to thicken up uterine lining? Also full of the omegas which is good for conceiving! If I’m out this month then I’m deffo going to start taking it as I don’t eat fish :/

I’ve heard to dtd with socks on! So u might be on to something haha xxx

Wishful30 · 22/10/2018 18:11

@Lubilu28
I've also heard an old wives tail 'cold feet, cold uterus'
How the hell that is a thing I do not know, but slippers on all the time as I always have cold feet 😂

Wishful30 · 22/10/2018 18:08

Finally got my result from the fertility clinic. It's only taken them 2 weeks to send me 6 A4 pages. 😡🙄

Sorry for such a long post!!

So, I put the IUI on hold as I'm just not convinced they're doing things right. Having seen a different doctor, who sparked off some questions in my head, I decided to postpone the third IUI until I can find out more.

Having had chemical Pg's I'm just not convinced I need all the extra hormones.
I definitely ovulate. Yet they still requested I trigger.
I argued the toss about low progesterone, so they have me 400mg twice a day. Which is a huge amount. But failed to tell me a blood test previous had clearly proved I didn't need progesterone.... 🤔

They want me on daily injections before trigger injection and then progesterone.

My follicles before the IUI's look like they're around 18mm which I think is good.

My main focus is the thin uterine lining. Which I queried as I was sent for an IUI at 5.6 when i have since found out it should be over 7.
So looking into that more as the one before was 6.3 😐

Anyway... I have noticed that my dye test within my uterus showed pitting.
Not one person mentioned this to me. Part of the reason to request all my info was because a different dr told me my uterine lining was uneven and not linear..
still have had no explanation what could be the cause, or if it's even an issue.

Taking all the notes to my acupuncturist who mentioned she feels I need to increase the blood flow to my uterus. Which reading up on uterine pitting, tells me that could be a reason it's not even.

Really unhappy with the fertility clinic!!

Lubilu28 · 22/10/2018 17:47

@Wishful30 anything that may help ay haha 🤣 well I’m on “O” day today and I’ve read that too much vigorous exercise around this time can effect conception, so I’m skipping my class for a night in on the sofa with me feet up on the sofa 😊 🤞🏻 For all of us on this November bus!! Xxx

Fingers crossed for this month everyone trying x

Wishful30 · 21/10/2018 16:16

@Chanel05
Exactly what I was doing!! I took the last month off completely. I usually ovulate around cd14/15 either way so just estimated it.
It's really helped me set my mind straight and relax.
I'm now taking additional vitamins and having acupuncture. I think it's too late to make a difference this cycle, but hoping it might help next month 🤷🏻‍♀️
I have 5 super cheap opk's this month, as opposed to the monitor and smiley faces ect, which I was using from cd6 to after ovulation 🙄

Give yourself a break. Mentally and physically. Xxx

Chanel05 · 21/10/2018 15:06

I should be ovulating early this week coming but not using opks this cycle to avoid additional stress. Still temping. I never thought before that I was stressing by using opks but actually feel so much more relaxed this cycle that I must have been convincing myself that I wasn’t stressed when I really was 🙈. Dtd every other day until Friday.

@Lubilu28 I'm not far behind you with the crazy.
I'm taking soooo many supplements now. Drinking herbal tea. Force feeding myself pineapple. Hugging a hot water bottle every night 😂
All I gotta do now is hope I use my Pom's at the right time and that DH is not on nights!!

@Tefiti2 I’ve only researched it a little but I have found that it is linked to a higher percentage of pregnancies! It does say it’s inconclusive but every little helps ay?? Xx

Tefiti2 · 20/10/2018 15:36

@libilu28 does Vit D help with TTC? I take it normally but didn’t know it could help!

Lubilu28 · 20/10/2018 14:55

Almost positive opk this morning, starting to cramp and Getting more and more Ewcm and it’s a lot thinner than the last few months thanks to Guaifenesin!!

U know ur going crazy when u start drinking cough syrup to help conceive 🙈🤣

Trying to follow the smep but from now we’re going to dtd everyday till I know I’m way out of “o” time!!

Also considering taking vitamin D supplements 🤔

wouldthatbeworse · 20/10/2018 11:21

TWW begins over here. But still hoping to DTD couple more times just in case of late ov. Going to try keep really busy to distract myself.

Belle2008 · 20/10/2018 11:03
