@Dollywilde - Glad your feeling better now and didn’t need the doctors ☺️

Hi all, can I join? Smile

We started trying last month on our honeymoon, but no luck so onto cycle 2! Didn’t really track anything last month as we DTD plenty while away Grin but now we’re back to real life will have to time things better!

Whoops, mucked up my maths - I’m 7dpo I think and planning to test on 12dpo.

Morning all! Shiny new thread Grin

Age: 30
Cycle: 2
6DPO (I think)
CD25 of average 31
Planning on testing on BH Monday (CD30/11DPO) if no AF before then

Cystitis seems to have mostly buggered off, or at least much better! I did do the (icky) bicarb drink @purplefig, thank you for the tip. Turns out getting an emergency appointment was a nightmare so didn’t in the end but I’m actually glad I didn’t since it seems to be clearing up on its own.

I’m sure there were a few planning to test this weekend - how are you all getting on? I’ve been quietly hopeful, no symptoms to spot here but still only halfway through the TWW. I do have a charming spot on my cheekbone of all places but as it’s not my chin I’m refusing to consider it could be pre AF hormones Wink

Morning all! About to head into cycle 6!

Have a lovely day 😊

Thanks for the new thread @ValidUser Fingers crossed the injections do what they need to.

Can't believe they told you that @Crossfitgirl - you'd think they'd give you a gold star for exercising

I'd say have a coffee to wake you up @orangeloo, but not after all the caffeine chat!

The last thread was so fast moving so hello to anyone new and congratulations to the BFPs!

I've been off MN for a few days as to avoid thinking about the 2ww. I've been trying to avoid bringing my holiday down by testing and getting a BFN. (DTD once just before FW and so don't think it's my month anyway).

ELW85 · 22/05/2019 06:51

@LikeTheFruit - I think there are a few of us testing on the bank holiday, but I’ll obviously cave and test on Friday, and be massively disappointed with myself!

@KatBeCool I'm on gonal since day 3, started cetrotide today on day six to prevent ovulation too early, scan on Friday and they'll tell me when to pull the trigger (or to put it less dramatically, administer the hCG). Continuing both gonal and cetrotide for now.

No plans re progesterone for now because my levels are good and my endometrium is lovely and cushioned.

KatBeCool · 21/05/2019 22:54

@ValidUser thank you for the new thread! Is gonal the only thing you'll be doing, and the trigger shot? Or is there something post-ovulation? Like progesterone?

Thanks for the new thread @ValidUser

I'm 31
Cycle 5
Cd 23
Either day 3 or 4 dpo. Night shift messes with checking temp!

So glad to be off night shifts, and no more for a month woop! Boobs felt a bit tender in bed this morning but I know this is far far too early for symptoms 😂😂. Also had an absolutely enormous amount of creamy CM today - not sure what that's all about! Got my annual appraisal coming up so trying to distract myself with that!

Anyone testing this week?

Plattsy88 · 21/05/2019 22:32

Thanks for the new thread! :)

CD12 on my first cycle since MMC in April

@Crossfitgirl cycle 1 of the hormones. They're actually not bad at all.

(And the mind really does boggle. A fit mother is better equipped to push out a baby!)

Planning to dtd tonight just incase and I'm flagging and seriously tired but I know if I don't give it all we've got I'll regret it.

Crossfitgirl · 21/05/2019 21:57

@validuser I'm good thanks, I've just had a right good essay rant on the pg thread about being told to cancel my crossfit membership at an NHS physio appointment because gentle yoga is the only thing I should be thinking about doing in my condition 😱 haha. What cycle are you on of the critical 3 before you go down the ivf route? Sending my love to your good tube 😊

FlapJackered · 21/05/2019 21:55

Having a chilled out cycle this time as DH is currently away killing his sperm with obscene amounts of booze and my tsh is too high again so not looking likely this month.

ELW85 · 21/05/2019 21:41

Ooh new thread!! Exciting :)

Evening all - just back from the gym and feel seriously sleepy!

@PaintingOwls - so sorry for prompting the caffeine withdrawal (and associated symptoms!) I promise you’ll feel great for it soon!

@LokiCat - Massaman curry is AMAZING!! So jealous, and thank you for your lovely message on the last thread. I can’t wait for Potter, and everything crossed it’ll be a magical weekend for other reasons!

@Purplefig - Team positive for the win 🤚

@LokiCat it doesn’t happen often as we commute in together but he was working from home today so was a nice surprise when I got in 👌🏻 Just pack lots of thin items 😂

@Validuser I think you've a brilliant positive attitude to needles then.

@PaintingOwls I found i had horrendous caffeine withdrawal for about a week but after that it gets easier. I'm still having normal tea at work so colleagues don't suspect anything and one cup somedays can't be that harmful.
