Anyone out there want to join me in trying for a successful Feb?! I’m sure there are loads of us out there can can support and answer questions :)
I’m 35, TTC #2 and have been trying for 4 months or so. My Son is almost 16 months so out of that baby stage which was so much fun (although this age defo has its perks).

So sorry to hear abour your dad @scottish1. I used to work in that field and there are lots of treatments available, it can be treated if caught in time.

Hope you get some good news next week.

Scottish1 · 23/02/2019 17:28

Thank you ladies ❤️

Kinsella82 · 23/02/2019 17:26

@Scottish1 sorry to hear that about your dad :( totally understandable that your mind is on other things right now.

Af due tomorrow for me and I'm feeling crampy and horrible so I reckon it's on the way alright :(

LG0914 · 23/02/2019 16:30

Tried to get a photo but literally cannot see anything but In person i can see a faint line. Will try again in few days.

@Scottish1 sorry to hear about your dad.

Scottish1 · 23/02/2019 14:09

I have no af symptoms so I am taking that as a good sign? A lot can happen in 48hrs though!

Scottish1 · 23/02/2019 13:56

Hi! I am going to wait until Tuesday now if no af as due Monday. I feel like I’ve got this far, I might aswell wait the extra couple of days now.... Sorry to disappoint! 😂
My dad also went in to hospital last night with renal failure and has been diagnosed with prostrate cancer so it’s taken my mind off of testing.

@ShortandSweet Are you retesting today?

Herewegoagain84 · 23/02/2019 13:25

Hi everyone - currently 11dpo and AF due tomorrow... feels very much like she’s on her way. If she doesn’t arrive tonight I think I’ll test in the morning. @Scottish1 am I right in thinking you were testing today?

LG0914 · 23/02/2019 12:48

@lizzie198 I'm going to meet a friend now, does look very faint (I didn't use my first wee and I think that changes things) may post later on x

lizzie198 · 23/02/2019 12:42

@LG0914 can you post a picture of your clear blue? Might help to have some extra eyes on it?

LG0914 · 23/02/2019 12:37

I caved. I did a cheap test strip yesterday which was neg. But I'm not due yet so just picked up a clear blue early one and I'm sure I can see the faintest line. My eyes may be playing tricks though. Gonna use the other test if AF doesn't show to be sure.

lizzie198 · 23/02/2019 11:53

I think I'm going to be out very soon very grumpy and restless today so I suspect pmt!

Bonnie83 · 22/02/2019 15:59

Hi everyone.
So I'm approaching 36(joy) and have decided I want a baby. I don't have a boyfriend or partner etc so I'm going to be going down the official donor road.
I've had my fertility MOT done and came back ok and my reserve is 'average' for my age. I've made an appointment with a nurse at the private clinic for next Friday to discuss which treatments I can try-obviously either IUI or IVF at this stage.
All I really know at this stage is that both procedures are expensive (not shocked there) but that the success rates are fairly low(sadly) for IVF but more so for IUI.
Was anyone else is this situation and was generally stuck on choosing which treatment would be better for them??... being cost effective but at the same time going in with what procedure will be more successful??!! Going by my MOT results I shouldn't have a problem to conceive BUT god knows how long it could take with other factors like stress and anxiety about it all.
It's so bloody overwhelming I feel like I'm going crackers 🤣.
Any advice or opinions would be much appriciated Smile Xx

tilly98 · 22/02/2019 15:27

No I haven't had any bleeding whatsoever. So can't be a mc xx

Kinsella82 · 22/02/2019 14:48

Driving myself mad :( another BFN.
AF due Sunday so I think I'm definitely out :( I really was wishful thinking to think it might happen quick. Hope everyone is having a good day x

Michellebops · 22/02/2019 14:28

@tilly98 reading your recent posts, I haven read too far back that you're getting positives.

Did you recently have a MC?

I had positive tests for 9 weeks after my mc.
I thought I was pregnant again but was my body holding on to hcg.

Sorry if I'm wrong ❤️

Lindsey90 · 22/02/2019 13:53

Yea its my ovulation time this week. But i got my copper coil out almost 2 weeks ago. It sounds silly. But i feel like i did with my first pregnancy. Tired and very easily annoyed. I feel pregnant and i dont know if its possible. My period is not due till for another 10 days. So its agony not taking a test. :(

Unsureursula · 22/02/2019 13:09

Hello all! I hope I can join?
Please bear with my long winded intro- it’s relevant- well I hope :)
So, summary is I’m 30 and a recent pelvic US found at least one fibroid (my gp confirmed this over the phone and has referred me to community gynaecology on 1 March).
I was upset when this was spotted although I suffer horrendously with AF each month so was also somewhat relieved to get a partial diagnosis!
Anyway my partner and I have been living together almost 2 years (he’s 30 too) and I had mentioned ttc and initially he was quite reluctant. I decided to leave the topic for the time being and focus on my career.
However, following on from my GPs update, DP brought up the ttc and suggested we maybe stop using contraception and see what happens?
So last AF started on 3rd Feb and lasted about 4 days. We’ve DTD a few times since and now I’ve got nausea, bloating, headache etc but know this could be PMS too? I’m so confused. I’m theory AF should return next weekend but that’s not always regular. Is it normal that I’m now freaking out I may be pregnant? I’ve also been awake all night which doesn’t help either. Any suggestions welcome!
Thanks lovelies!

tilly98 · 22/02/2019 13:09

Yeah on Monday morning. So hopefully I'll get some answers

Bluebell9 · 22/02/2019 11:44

Have you got another appointment booked with the doctor?

tilly98 · 22/02/2019 11:24

I haven't had a period for 8 months. I had sex with my partner on the 3rd of January.

Bluebell9 · 22/02/2019 11:00

How late is AF?
Normally the tests get darker as the hcg increases.

tilly98 · 22/02/2019 10:24

Not really I've had a darker one depending on the time of the day. Just so confusing especially with the bloods being negative x

Bluebell9 · 22/02/2019 10:06

Are the lines getting darker @tilly98?

tilly98 · 22/02/2019 09:52

So done another test a line is there. #confused

Fertile Feb!
