Thought the old one was getting a bit full so I'd start a new one. I'll attempt tagging as many as I can

You've definitley got an amazing attitude in this difficult time @validuser

Hello ladies, just checking in on this thread to see how everyone is doing - @ValidUser I’m so sorry to see what you are going through. It’s really devastating to see those lines only for it not to end the way you hope. I’m really thinking of you and have everything crossed for the next few cycles. Does it help in any way knowing you have that IVF option in January? Sending lots of love your way x

ELW85 · 24/09/2019 08:52

@ValidUser - you’ve got a brilliant attitude towards this; you’re doing so well. I’ve got so much respect for your outlook and will keep absolutely everything crossed for you and your DH for January (and all of the time in between).

@Kiza - I’m sorry, I’ve got no experience of that, but it’s great you’ve got a way forward!

Kiza · 24/09/2019 07:48

@ValidUser your strength is admirable, I think I'd be crying with frustration by now!
We got our results back yesterday, all my blood work is great, however DP has teratazoospermia (basic a low amount of healthy formed sperm). The GP was very blaze about it, but the doctor at the clinic was more serious and we are now being referred to the fertility clinic.
DP is healthy, no smoke, no drinking, takes vitamin E and Coq10, very fit and healthy so not sure what we can do to increase the healthy formed sperm?
The doctor also said it could be a reason for MC as when an 'abnormal formed' sperm fertilises an egg it results in MC.
Let's hope the wait for the clinic appointment isn't too long.
Or if anyone knows about this and has some ideas of what he can do I'd love to hear it?

@validuser so sorry to hear that, I hope you can get some answers

Larrydavid · 23/09/2019 22:53

@ValidUser I'm so sorry to read this. I hope you're ok 💛

ValidUser · 23/09/2019 22:22

Thanks @Lozzlepop @Kiza @Lottiepink @flossy12 @Anny27 @Lemonysherbet @ELW85 and @MrsH497.

I'm ok, really. Part of me is wondering if I should trust these really faint BFPs. Part of me knows a line is a line. Part of me is pleased that I seem to be able to get pregnant. A very big part is wondering why I can't seem to get beyond the very faint line stage.

I'm going to keep going with our current plan. I've gained a few kilos on all the hormones, so focusing on losing those pre ivf in January (which is feeling more likely at the moment).

Not wallowing in misery, but I need to be realistic too. You lot and DH and my colleagues and cats are all fabulous. ❤️

Lozzlepop · 23/09/2019 20:49

Oh @ValidUser I’m so so sorry to hear this sending lots of love your way ❤️

Kiza · 23/09/2019 20:02

@ValidUser it's awful that you're going through this, I hope your gynaecologist is able to help with some ideas or reassurance.
How many chemicals have you had? I'm just wondering if it's worth considering the recurrent miscarriage unit?

Lottiepink · 23/09/2019 19:59

@ValidUser so sorry to hear that 😢

flossy12 · 23/09/2019 19:24

Sorry to hear that sweetheart 😔💞 @ValidUser

Lemonysherbet · 23/09/2019 19:11

So sorry @ValidUser I'm really sad to hear that.

ELW85 · 23/09/2019 19:11

So sorry to hear that @ValidUser. Be kind to yourself x

Hello everyone. AF came today.

If I'm honest, I think I had another chemical. The line was almost gone on Tuesday night and back on Wednesday.

My gynaecologist is due to contact me this week.

Thanks for all the support. X

MIW01 · 23/09/2019 18:16

Congratulations @lemonysherbert @Anny27

Kiza · 23/09/2019 07:34

@XjustagirlX not had an experience like that also, but I agree with Anna, worth getting that checked out at the GP

Anny27 · 22/09/2019 18:06

Not experiences anything like that @XjustagirlX but might be worth going to the GP if your cycles continue to act strangely xx

Lozzlepop · 22/09/2019 17:59

@ValidUser did you test today?

XjustagirlX · 22/09/2019 15:49

Hello

So something weird is happening to me. My cycle is usually 32 days. I had a really long cycle of 52 days and then I was hopeful that we could try again this month. I’m on CD16 with 4 days of high fertility on clearblue tests. I had some spotting last night and today AF has arrived. It’s heavy with lots of clots but it’s not painful.

Does anyone ever had this before?

Lemonysherbet · 21/09/2019 15:23

Hey @ValidUser how are you getting on?

Lozzlepop · 20/09/2019 21:33

Fingers crossed @ValidUser 🤞🏻

Lemonysherbet · 20/09/2019 18:23

@ValidUser that's exciting! Everything is crossed for you
