Oh congratulations maddiie! That's such lovely news!

Chooklass sorry about the bomb. Deep breaths indeed, they're always awful but the unexpected ones are the worst. Is it someone you'll have to see a lot of?

Hope everyone had a good weekend?
Feeling really crap today. Had some spotting yesterday that didn't turn into FP so I convinced myself I was pregnant but massive BFN this morning and now I'm annoyed that I got my hopes up.

Chooklass · 19/11/2018 09:52

Monday morning baby bomb! Took me by surprise and has left me a bit wobbly. Deep breaths.

@Owlpatrol Thank you!! Sorry you've had a horrible AF.. should be over soon!! Xx

Owlpatrol · 18/11/2018 19:12

@Chooklass not much to report here either, day erm 5 so waiting for the end of af. It's actually been a really heavy af so it's taken it's toll this month. Been treating myself all weekend though Smile

Owlpatrol · 18/11/2018 19:10

@maddiie fantastic news. Congratulations!

maddiie · 18/11/2018 15:05

@Chooklass Digi is done!! I'm 5 weeks pregnant!!! GrinGrin

Chooklass · 18/11/2018 14:34

@maddiie !!!! Awesome news! I somehow had a funny feeling you would from what you were saying about your temps etc. Remember CB digis are less sensitive than pink dye, so even if you get a neg on one of them it might just be because it's too early.

@JustLikeTheySaid It doesn't feel real I still don't believe it. Dh sperm test just a few days ago. Starting clomid any day. I want to do a clear blue digi but I'm petrified it'll be negative. Three strong positives though. Holy shit

JustLikeTheySaid · 18/11/2018 14:00

Maddie!! Congrats!!!!

maddiie · 18/11/2018 13:46

I've had a BFP. Three to be exact. I'm completely and utterly in shock

maddiie · 18/11/2018 09:35

@Chooklass I did a test at 9DPO which was a bfn. I'm 16DPO now but avoiding testing as don't want to keep bringing myself down with bfns. I don't have any symptoms or reason to believe I'm pg besides the rising temps. I've all but given up on conceiving without aid I just want AF to come so I can start the clomid that's sitting on my bedside table taunting me!

Chooklass · 18/11/2018 09:05

I had one of those really vivid dreams last night where I got a BPF, was so sad when I woke up 😢

@maddiie Your temp rising sounds promising? Have you tested?

I usually ov on CD 12. On CD13 and still negative opks so am either ovulating late this cycle, or not at all. I guess the new vits or acupuncture could have altered things a bit.

Congratulations Limp!

maddiie · 18/11/2018 08:03

Hope everyone's ok!!

Not much to report here, CD33, no sign of AF, temp still rising daily. Was pretty normal before O, rised after and then rised significantly 7dpo and has sky rocketed every day since. Getting higher every day which keeps making me excited that AF is coming and I'll have a normal cycle but no luck yet. I do keep getting cramps but they feel more like stomach cramps than AF ones. Who knows Confused

Owlpatrol · 18/11/2018 07:55

@JustLikeTheySaid oh I know how you feel symptom spotting drives me crazy why do we do it to ourselves!?

Yammer thread is quiet at the moment how's everyone else doing?

JustLikeTheySaid · 17/11/2018 17:32

8DPO today and I'm symptom spotting like mad. Back hurts randomly and I'm really low in mood and tired today. Probably just pulled a muscle and had a crap week! Not sure why I torture myself....

Owlpatrol · 16/11/2018 15:08

Oh I've decided to "take December off " mentally from ttcing but I'll still be tracking and dtd but just letting my hair down at the Xmas party and eating what I want if you know what I mean

Owlpatrol · 16/11/2018 15:07

Hi @ivf2019 thank you, I've been feeling a bit down in the dumps this week and had a major headache all day today! So glad it's the weekend. I can't comment on your pcos question as I don't think I have it (I've had the blood test) but anyway I'll be watching others responses.

I've been thinking of trying acupuncture in the new year or I've found this other therapy which is a bit like reiki so might try that

ivf2019 · 16/11/2018 14:26

Sorry to hear that Owl - definitely treat yourself this weekend and if you need to take some time off TTC for your mental health I'd definitely bring it up again with DP. Perhaps he doesn't quite realise how much it's draining you?

Pink argh she sounds so annoying. Lukcily my boss is lovely but there are SO many pregnant women in my workplace right now that people are always on the lookout for "who's next".... I've had so many not subtle glances at my stomach if I'm wearing dungarees or a smock style dress. I'm sure they think I can't see where they're looking..

strawberry glad your GP is being proactive and hope you manage to get some answers, must be so hard having losses.

Ladies, could I pick your brains please? I don't have PCOS (as far as I know) but my acupuncture lady said she thought I might, and for the last 5/6 months I've noticed some strange pains (what I assume is!) my left ovary.
It's always in the run up to FP and always the left, so not ovulation pain. Like a twinging, stabbing pain, has anyone ever had this? Not sure if it's indicative of PCOS or anything else. My hair all fell out and skin went haywire when I came off the pill which adds to me thinking maybe I do have it and the pill was masking symptoms.

Do you think it sounds like PCOS? If so I'm wondering whether to see the GP about a scan. I'm on the waiting list for IVF for a genetic thing, and have been terrified of losing the funding so haven't pursued any "normal" fertility investigations even though we could have had them by now (18months in).

Hope everyone is doing okay today xx

Chooklass · 15/11/2018 19:35

Sorry about FP @Owlpatrol Thanks

That must be a difficult milestone to reach. Hope you've got some treats lined up this weekend x

Argh bosses are the worst @Pinkemi mine trying to get out of me when I came on my period as weirdly that was today! Two days early I might add! So weird, I'm sure she's psychic. So I reassured her I'm not pregnant and leaving in 9 months time!!!

So anyway, fp came and that takes me into my 3rd year trying 😭 I suggested to do to take some time off in the new year but he isn't too keen, I don't think he understands how hard this is for me
