Awww congratulations @Jesspheebs 😍 hope you have a lovely day xx

thosethreewords · 20/03/2019 17:03

@Jesspheebs congratulations! That's a brilliant distraction! Are you all set for it?

Jesspheebs · 20/03/2019 10:37

That's a good way to look at it time wise. I didn't "try" for my DD so never had to go through this process before. My friends have told me to relax and enjoy it etc but they know how impatient and organised i am so they understand the process is generally difficult for me. I'm getting married in 3 weeks so lots more things to focus on to take my mind off it.

thosethreewords · 20/03/2019 10:08

@Jesspheebs I can entirely relate to that pressure you put on yourself, and the feeling of disappointment. I really find after day 1 or 2 of AF that I feel much better though.
I'm trying at the moment to focus on "this year" rather than "this cycle". But that is hard!

Jesspheebs · 20/03/2019 09:48

Done a test last night dpo 14 and BFN. Got raging PMS so AF is on her way. Very upset last night. Cross with myself for more or less assuming it would happen on the first try. I've stressed myself put so much during the TWW ive been full of cold for the last 5 days. No more symptom spotting or googling for me next cycle. Good luck to all you lovely ladies. It will happen for us x

Peachyx2505 · 19/03/2019 19:51

Sorry af arrived @TeapotsLoveYouLots and @Newbie21 😔😔 xx

Newbie21 · 19/03/2019 19:04

AF finally showed up. After 5 days of spotting I'm sort of relieved. On to the next cycle.

Nowthenforever2019 · 19/03/2019 17:07

LaraLove - I didn't really notice any symptoms until a few days before I was due AF. My boobs ached then, and the day before I was due I felt dizzy and had bad cramping. I also felt warm for a few days.

Today and yesterday been hit with fatigue!

Sorry to everyone with disappointing news this month.

Line, there should be a paperclip that you can click to attach a photo but you can't be a brand new member

TeapotsLoveYouLots · 19/03/2019 12:19

I'm out ladies, AF arrived this morning.

Trying not to be too disappointed, I knew the chances of me catching normally are slim to none.

Appointment at fertility clinic in April to hopefully start clomid

LaraLove · 19/03/2019 12:08

@Nowthenforever2019 congrats! Which symptoms did you fell? When did they start? My AF is due on the 26th but I'm not feeling much atm, apart from the good old pms wish to kill my partner (I love him immensely though) 😅😅😅

Lineeyesah · 19/03/2019 11:45

Hey ladies, I think I’ve just got a faint line on a frer but don’t know how to post a picture of it here, how do I do it? Xx

limesoda · 19/03/2019 10:50

Aww @rach1384 that is so rubbish. I really hope you get some answers soon.

I don’t really know when AF is due, despite having all my dates for the last few months. I’m a complete hippy so know it is usually around a new moon, which is on Friday (I know, I know) but looking back it is a bit irregular but only by a day or two. I have peed on so many sticks of various quality over the last week (maybe even longer) and all BFN so don’t think anything is happening for me this month. I nearly just want it to start so I can track a cycle from day 1 properly.

Lots of luck to you all!

Newbie21 · 19/03/2019 09:15

Sorry to hear that @Rach1384 I really hope you get the help and support you need and get some answers to help you on your TTC journey.

kittycat01 · 19/03/2019 08:50

I was due AF yesterday but no sign (apart from very minor cramps here and there) and I've just done a test and BFN!!! Angry

Peachyx2505 · 18/03/2019 20:46

I'm out ladies. Started spotting this afternoon which is unusual for me, but I guess it's one of those things sent to try us eh? 😂 good luck to those still waiting xx

Rach1384 · 18/03/2019 16:22

Thanks guys. Good luck to you all x

Catconfusion · 18/03/2019 14:56

So sorry @Rach1384 I really hope you get the support you need in finding a treatment that works for you! Xx

Peachyx2505 · 18/03/2019 14:45

😔😔 @Rach1384 I'm sorry to hear this xx

Rach1384 · 18/03/2019 14:42

Progesterone level was 15.7 and they looking for 30 for a good ovulation although you can ovulate on a bit less than that. So the doctor has already submitted the referral to the fertility clinic for me citing ongoing ovulation issues. Here we go again. Plenty tears this aft. Not sure if I can put us all through the stress of the fertility clinic and process again.

Catconfusion · 18/03/2019 14:09

@Rach1384 I'm about the same thanks . Just spoke to GP who thinks it was a viable embryo but my lining wasn't thick enough to support it. I'm so mad at myself for not booking some acupuncture or something to help it. I just wasn't expecting to ovulate so soon. We were also told no more likely to have another loss if we tried straight away so that wasn't the best advice. Guess I just wait for the bleeding to start now! Xx

Rach1384 · 18/03/2019 13:12

@Catconfusion will do. How are you feeling today?

Catconfusion · 18/03/2019 11:07

Well it sounds promising @Rach1384 with all those symptoms. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Are you temping? I use Ovusense and I've found it really good at identifying ovulation. There's a lovely Facebook group too. Many of the women on there have had similar problems to you. The price is a little off putting but Its really helped me understand what's going on. Sometimes there are discount codes.

I don't know much about endometriosis but hopefully it won't cause you any more problems conceiving.

Good luck and let us know how it goes! Xx

Rach1384 · 18/03/2019 10:50

@Catconfusion it’s progesterone levels. Before I had my daughter we discovered that my progesterone levels were really low and I wasn’t ovulating. At the time it was unexplained infertility but last year I had tests which showed I have endometriosis but outside of the womb. I’m hopeful all is ok and I’m ovulating now as I get regular periods, pms and door boobs each month and I was getting none of that before my daughter. Sometimes clomid can kick start you I think after you’ve been on the pill a long time so I’m hoping that was the case with me. Sorry that’s all really long winded lol

Catconfusion · 18/03/2019 10:24

@Rach1384 what's the blood test for? xx

Rach1384 · 18/03/2019 08:49

@Nowthenforever2019 congratulations!

Feeling nervous for my blood results today, roll on 2pm!
